Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 During our Pfeiffer exam a few days ago, Dr. Norman asked for how long had cracks in the sides of his mouth. I was so exasperated -- for years I have been trying to get them to heal permanently. We get so close, only to have them split and re-open. I've just always attributed it to our fair skin, red hair, blue eyes, eczema, etc. Well, apparently, it's called cheilosis, which is a Riboflavin (B2) deficiency. We need to at least double 's Riboflavin intake. He currently gets 10 mgs a day in his BrainChild's, if I remember correctly. So go figure.
