What condition is characterized by redness and peeling of skin around the corners of the mouth due to a vitamin B deficiency?

The condition characterized by redness and peeling of the skin around the corners of the mouth due to a vitamin B deficiency is known as Angular Cheilitis. This condition often arises from a deficiency in riboflavin (vitamin B2), which can lead to inflammation and cracks at the angles of the lips, making them sore and uncomfortable. Angle Cheilitis can also result from other factors, such as irritants or fungal infections, but when specifically linked to vitamin B deficiencies, it presents as a clear symptom indicating the lack of essential nutrients for maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes.

Glossitis refers to inflammation of the tongue and does not specifically describe the symptoms around the mouth. Scurvy is associated with a deficiency in vitamin C, leading to issues like swollen gums and other systemic symptoms. Rickets is a disorder resulting from a deficiency in vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate, primarily affecting bone development. Each of these conditions is related to distinct nutritional deficiencies and presents with different clinical features.
