Angular stomatitis, characterized by inflammation and cracks at the corners of the mouth, can occur in iron deficiency due to the role of iron in maintaining healthy epithelial tissues. Iron is essential for various cellular functions, including those in the immune system and the formation of hemoglobin. A deficiency can lead to impaired healing and increased susceptibility to infections, making the delicate skin at the mouth corners more prone to fissures and inflammation. Additionally, low iron levels may contribute to anemia, which can exacerbate tissue health and resilience.
