For acne, doses of 40-300 milligrams of zinc sulfate two or three times daily with or without food have been taken by mouth for 4-12 weeks. 30-200 milligrams of zinc gluconate prior to a meal daily for 2-3 months has also been studied.
Zinc contributes to the formation of white blood cells and helps enzymes repair your skin and allow your wounds to heal. Open wounds increase your susceptibility to infection because they give foreign invaders an additional avenue into your body. Increased healing time can help you fight off the possibility of developing an infection. Adult men should consume 11 milligrams of zinc and adult women should consume 8 milligrams of zinc daily. The best sources of zinc include red meat, seafood and whole grains.
