Angular Cheilitis is a very painful and highly visible skin
disease where the mouth corners get cracked and suffer from lesions. In
addition the patient can experience chapped lips, in severe cases even
the tongue can get infected. However finding Cheilitis cures that work
can often be very hard, especially if you are looking for a permanent
disease.
A person suffering from low immunity is more likely to be
in danger, also people wearing ill-fitting dentures, biting nails and
sucking thumbs more often suffer from this disease. However the most
often causes are bacterial and/or yeast infection. Often the cure
depends on a cause so for example if you have a bad fitting dentures you
need to get dentures re-fitted and use antiseptic solution regularly.
People
with bad habits such as thumb sucking or nail biting etc. must break
these habits as they can cause bacterial and yeast infections. Regular
treatments for bacteria infected mouth is to apply topical cream
containing antibiotics while for the yeast infected mouth utilizing the
anti-fungal and steroid cream is recommended. People suffering from
chapped lips should apply Vaseline, Shea butter, cocoa butter, olive
oil, coconut oil, un-perfumed lip balms etc. If a person has a
deficiency of vitamins, iron or zinc then an alteration in the diet
would be the best way to permanently eliminate Cheiliosis, using
appropriate supplements is also very effective.
The Cheilitis
cures mentioned above would suffice, though what would really help is a
change in habits, balanced diet, and mainting a high level of the
personal hygiene. This way one can ensure that Perleche, as this skin
disease is also known, does not strike back.
