As of yet, the precise etiology of necrolytic acral erythema remains unknown. Numerous causes, including hepatic dysfunction, hypoglucagonemia, hypoalbimunemia, hypoaminoacidemia, zinc deficiency, and diabetes with or without an underlying hepatitis C viral infection, have been postulated as part of the multifactorial pathophysiology of necrolytic acral erythema.
