the claim

Vitamin C deficiency in scurvy causes old healed wounds and scars to reopen.

the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that vitamin C deficiency in scurvy causes old healed wounds and scars to reopen?

Yes. A Cleveland Clinic symptom list and a National Geographic article both state that scurvy causes previously healed wounds to re-open; two case reports describe impaired wound healing in scurvy but do not address reopening of old scars.
