The second is the stratification of the mucous membrane under the influence of bacteria, viruses or other damaging factors. As a result, under her top layer liquid accumulates in the form small bubbles... The liquid of the bubbles will be clear if it has not become infected. If the infection has penetrated the vesicles, they will acquire White color, and when blood gets into them, the color turns red or dark. Sometimes these blisters break open, forming painful sores.

Lack of vitamin B2 (riboflavin). In addition to inflammation of the tongue, signs of B2 deficiency include the appearance of dry scales and small cracks on the lips and in the corners of the mouth, conjunctivitis of the eyes, dandruff on the scalp.
