10 Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms
Symptom #8: Mouth Ulcers
When you have a mouth inflammation known as glossitis, your tongue begins to change shape and color. It may become really red, swollen, and very painful. The ulcer makes the tongue feel and look smooth because the little holes on the tongue, which act as taste buds, are covered due to the swelling.
Apart from the pain that comes with glossitis, it can also change the way you eat or speak. It has been proven that an inflamed tongue that has long straight lesions on it could most likely be a very early sign of vitamin B12 deficiency. Also people with the deficiency might experience other oral symptoms like itching and sensations of pins and needles.
