Angular cheilosis is an unsightly skin condition. Not only is it unsightly, it can also cause you pain. The pain you feel comes with almost every movement you make with your mouth or lips and in severe cases, the cracks or splits along the corners of your mouth can bleed.
You might well be familiar that angular cheilosis (or what others refer to as perleche) is caused by several factors. Getting to the root cause of your skin condition can help much in finding effective cheilosis treatment.
For example, if your skin condition is caused by pathogenic infections (like those caused by bacteria or fungi), your doctor will most likely recommend the use of topical creams or medicated lip balms with 1% hydro cortisone to help ease the pain you feel. On the other hand, if your skin condition is due to a vitamin or mineral deficiency, you will most likely need to make changes in your daily diet and you might also be required to take supplements like iron or riboflavin.
