Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 I'm new. My name is . I had my weight loss surgery in 1972. I had cracks in the corners of my mouth with my weight loss surgery. More than likely you have a B vitamin deficiency. Cracks at the corner of the mouth are a symptom of vitamin B2(Riboflavin) and B6(Pyridoxine) deficiency. I recommend you take a B complex vitamin (which includes all the Bs) since they work better as a team. Good Luck! I actually had to be hospitalized and put on IV vitamins to help clear it up. Hopefully, yours isn't as bad as mine was. Signs of B2 deficiency Dry skin around nose and lips Itchy eyes Cracks/sores in corner of mouth Abnormal hair loss Trembling Dizziness Eyes sensitive to light Where to get it Leafy green vegetables Fish Eggs Almonds Wheat germ Brussel sprouts It's best to get this from vitamins but wouldn't hurt to add more of these foods into your diet but because absorption is an issue often diet isn't enough to help with a severe deficiency.
