I have been digging around for information because I had a lip crack in the corner of my
mouth. Come to find out it could have been either iron or Riboflavin(B2) deficiency. In my
research I came across a handy way to check for Iron deficiency. You turn you palm face
up and stretch your fingers toward the ground. Supposedly, if the creases in the palm of
your hand become darker then you aren't anemic. My palmar creases become dark red
with this test. The creases are pale in someone who has Iron deficiency. Maybe some of
your medical types can elaborate on the efficacy of this test.
I restarted and doubled my multiple vitamin and the crack was gone in two days. I think it
was B2 deficiency which can occur after surgery. FWIW and YMMV.
