3. Bright red hair follicles
You can’t see it, but a hair follicle is a tunnel-shaped structure that contains both cells and connective tissues protecting the root of a hair. Hair follicles contain lots of tiny blood vessels that provide nutrients and blood to the area. When your body is low on vitamin C, these small blood vessels (also called capillaries) become extremely fragile.
The result? They break, which leads to perifollicular hemorrhage, a skin condition characterized by bright red spots surrounding hair follicles. Numerous research and studies on perifollicular hemorrhage show that taking appropriate doses of vitamin C will make the issue disappear within two or three weeks.
