Hello... I actually read that this could be due to lack of folic acid.  Might try to supplement some, couldn't hurt.

Anemia is due to low iron. Lack of red meat (amonst a few other foods) can be one thing, amongst a few, that leads to anemia. To understand further, search Iron, iron  rich foods and anemia.

As a sidenote, anemia can be caused from a few things. Thus, my reason in telling you to do your research on the subject.

If sudden & lasting a awhile, may be do to some med reaction.
If no meds used, often is poor diet. Vitamin B deficiency/
Folic Acid anemia. Sometimes old make-up. Try vaseline to keep
soft at bed to heal. Avoid waxes like chapstick. Take a multi-
vitamin daily. Leave alone if crusting & just use vaseline w/
light powder to cover-up. Best if none.
