Essential fatty acids (like omega-3 and omega-6) support skin health, gut function, and wound repair. Deficiency causes flaky/itchy skin, diarrhea, and poor wound healing. Saturated fatty acid excess (not deficiency) relates to heart issues; cholesterol deficiency is rare and not linked to these symptoms; dietary fiber deficiency primarily causes constipation, not the listed symptoms.
