Does Excessive B 12 Supplements Cause Cracked Skin?

my wife takes a b12 shot every other month and taks a b12 pill every day supposed to take one each DAY. She has a lot of places on the back of one of her legs that looks as if it has been scraped or something. They have never scabed, bleed nor has the skin been broken to cause this appearence. Is it posssible that this may be caused from too much B12?
