Aspirin Causes Red Corners of Lips

[mantq]

Hey guys!

I've noticed, that everytime I take aspirin, within the next day or two, corners of my lips become red (angular cheilitis). Other than that, I'm fine with taking aspirin!

Does anyone know why it is causing that? I've experimented with this multiple times and it always comes back whenever I reintroduce aspirin

Thanks!

Some nutritional deficiencies are associated with it. (B vitamins and trace minerals like zinc)

What are you eating primarily?

Zinc

Why does the aspirin cause a zinc issue? Rev'd up metabolism? I expected more thiamine/magnesium stuff, not zinc.

That's a common symptom of low B2.

I'm getting plenty of B2, however, running on the lower side for both zinc and magnesium!

As far as B1 goes, I'm taking benfo 300mg daily, no major improvements but no side effects either since taking it!

But every time I reintroduce aspirin, I get this 'angular cheilitis' on the corners of my lips, strange :?

Interesting. Where do you get lots of B2 from? Food or supps?

2mg from eggs, 1.5mg from cottage cheese, 1mg from milk, as well as 1mg give or take from miscellaneous sources combined, such as oj, fruits etc.

Salicylates

Looks good. I can definitely be the other nutrients as well, such as zinc as you mentioned.

Salicylates

Meaning what exactly? Should I stop aspirin altogether :?

Commonly that's iron deficiency if not b vits,
& aspirin is known to worsen iron deficiency

Angular cheilitis induced by iron deficiency anemia

Causes include nutritional deficiencies, local and systemic factors, and drug treatment.

if not intolerance to salicylates which is common. aspirin acutely turns my finger & toe joints into magma
