Pellagra

Pellagra is a disease caused by a lack of the vitamin niacin (Vitamin B3).[2] Symptoms include inflamed skin, diarrhea, dementia, and sores in the mouth.[1] Areas of the skin exposed to either sunlight or friction are typically affected first.[1] Over time affected skin may become darker, stiffen, peel, or bleed.[1][3]
