These are excruciating: cracked lips or chapped lips. You can get an extreme lip sore that defies traditional treatment called angular cheilitis if you are not cautious about them. If the cracks are left untreated, fungal and bacterial infection come in, making the condition worse and defiant of treatment.

When chewing and talking movements irritate the fissures at the corners of the mouth, the ugly sores become excruciating. The deep cracks filled with scabs bleed upon movement of the mouth, and the pain makes it hard for the sufferer to speak and chew.

Ulcers appear invariably. Dry scabs fill the bleeding lesions, and with mouth motions, these scabs bleed again. The infection is made worse by the appearance of yeast fungus (staph) and viral infections.

The elderly, teenagers, and children who are afflicted distance themselves from their peers and develop personality issues. Many people do not understand that angular cheilitis isn't infectious, though its inflamed and bleeding sores can be threatening. The appropriate treatment and the cause of infection can be determined by seeking medical help.

Absence of iron, riboflavin, Vitamin B12, and folate worsen and trigger the infection. Because there's presence of dry skin, a dermatologist need to be sought out.

For appropriate diagnosis and treatment, a doctor or dentist must be consulted right away since the infection can persist for years and treatment can take time before the condition can clear up. In a few situations, angular cheilitis is a symptom of other diseases on the upper esophageal web and iron deficiency anemia.

The infection is a big issue because it is located in the mouth. It is sensitive, itchy, and excruciating, as well as easily visible. Seeking medical attention immediately can stop its spread.

If left untreated, the infection will make your immune system susceptible to other diseases. To get prescriptions for treatment for oral thrush, anti-fungal and viral medicine, and prescriptions for vitamins, seek quick medical help.

Sometimes overlooked are ill-fitting dentures. Because bacteria are trapped in the dentures, this can bring angular cheilis. To prevent the bacteria presence that cause the lip condition, soaking the dentures in a prescribed solution is advised.

To minimize swelling and infection, a dermatologist can prescribe topical ointments for chapped lips. It is not advised to self-medicate since these drugs have side effects.

Chapped lips and angular cheilitis have many alternative solutions available. With the offered solutions, those with cracked lips can live normal lives again and gain back their self-confidence in their personal and professional lives.

If you have angular cheilitis, or a friend has the infection, seek medical help now.
