Introduction
Vitamin B2 promotes the repair of skin and mucous membranes. When there is a deficiency of vitamin B2, inflammation easily occurs at the corners of the mouth, presenting as redness, cracking, and erosion. Supplementing with vitamin B2 can improve symptoms, accelerate healing of the mouth corners, and reduce pain and discomfort. Vitamin B2 helps maintain the health of the mucous membranes of the lips. Deficiency can lead to dryness, peeling, swelling, and cracking of the lips.

  VB2 refers to vitamin B2. Vitamin B2 is commonly used to treat diseases such as angular cheilitis, cheilosis, glossitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and blepharitis. Detailed explanations are as follows:

  1. Angular Cheilitis: Vitamin B2 promotes the repair of skin and mucous membranes. When vitamin B2 is deficient, inflammation may easily occur at the corners of the mouth, manifesting as redness, fissures, and erosion. Supplementing with vitamin B2 can improve symptoms, accelerate healing of the mouth corners, and reduce pain and discomfort.

  2. Cheilosis: Vitamin B2 helps maintain the health of lip mucosa. Deficiency can lead to dry, flaky, swollen, and cracked lips. Taking vitamin B2 can relieve lip inflammation, restore moisture to the lips, and reduce occurrences of dryness and bleeding.

  3. Glossitis: Vitamin B2 aids in restoring normal tongue mucosa. A deficiency in vitamin B2 can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and atrophy of the tongue papillae. Supplementation can promote metabolism of tongue mucosal cells, alleviate symptoms of glossitis, and restore normal function and appearance of the tongue.

  4. Seborrheic Dermatitis: Vitamin B2 helps regulate skin oil secretion. When deficient, sebaceous glands may become overactive, leading to seborrheic dermatitis, commonly seen on the face, chest, and back. Vitamin B2 participates in fat metabolism, reduces skin inflammation, decreases oil secretion, and improves overall skin condition.

  5. Blepharitis: Vitamin B2 helps maintain the health of tissues at the eyelid margins. A deficiency in vitamin B2 may lead to blepharitis, characterized by redness, swelling, pain at the eyelid margin, accompanied by scaling or ulcers. Supplementing with vitamin B2 nourishes the eyelid margin tissues, promotes local blood circulation, reduces inflammation, alleviates discomfort, and supports recovery from blepharitis.

  It is recommended to use medications under the guidance of a doctor. When considering the use of vitamin B2 or other supplements, it is important to fully understand your own health condition, avoid self-diagnosis and self-treatment to prevent unnecessary health risks.
