Thanks for all the responses from the RDs on the list. You all are great.
The overwhelming response I got is that it is angular stomatitis caused by
an iron deficiency which could very well be the case since my daughter is
a teen and menstrating regularly and does not take any iron supplements.
Also could be Vit. A or B2, B3, B6 and B12, or folic acid so we will look
into it. I'll have the dr. do some blood work.
I was also told that there are several iron studies and a regular CBC may
not be enough. Other tests recommended are Fe. Ferritin, TIBC, and
Transferritin. This I did not know so thanks for that.
Some mentioned a fungal infection and recommended using antifungal creams.
I'm sure we'll get tot he bottom of it now that we know where to look!
