Every time one reads anything about B2 one finds a mention (per wikipedia)

"Riboflavin deficiency (also called ariboflavinosis) results in stomatitis including painful red tongue with sore throat, chapped and fissured lips (cheilosis), and inflammation of the corners of the mouth (angular stomatitis). There can be oily scaly skin rashes on the scrotum, vulva, philtrum of the lip, or the nasolabial folds. The eyes can become itchy, watery, bloodshot and sensitive to light.[27] Due to interference with iron absorption, even mild to moderate riboflavin deficiency results in an anemia with normal cell size and normal hemoglobin content (i.e. normochromic normocytic anemia). This is distinct from anemia caused by deficiency of folic acid (B9) or cyanocobalamin (B12), which causes anemia with large blood cells (megaloblastic anemia).[28] Deficiency of riboflavin during pregnancy can result in birth defects including congenital heart defects[29]and limb deformities.[30] Prolonged riboflavin insufficiency is also known to cause degeneration of the liver and nervous system.[15]

The stomatitis symptoms are similar to those seen in pellagra, which is caused by niacin(B3) deficiency. Therefore, riboflavin deficiency is sometimes called "pellagra sine pellagra" (pellagra without pellagra), because it causes stomatitis but not widespread peripheral skin lesions characteristic of niacin deficiency.[27]

Riboflavin deficiency prolongs recovery from malaria,[31] despite preventing growth of plasmodium (the malaria parasite).[32]
