Make sure you have enough iron, zinc, and B vitamins in your diet. If that doesn’t help it’s possible it’s a fungus and you might need to find a way to see a dermatologist.

Chosen Answer:

Chap stick will not treat angular cheilitis and you are correct that it could make it worse. It is caused by a buildup of bacteria or fungus on the skin. There are no quick and easy home solutions. Treatment usually requires prescription antifungal medications and/or topical steroids. You really should see a doctor.

Chosen Answer:

Angular Cheilitis can sometimes be caused by fungal disease or malabsorption of some vital nutrients like B2, Iron and Zinc. Go see your doctor and he/she will probably recommend an anti-fungal cream as well as vitamins shots. If you want a more natural way, you need to treat this two ways, to cover all your bases. First with an anti-fungal supplement like Fungal Defense from Garden of Life (this has several herbs like oregano, basil, lemongrass, olive leaf and cinnamon bark as well as yucca juice and garlic juice), you can buy this online at: http://www.cnnutrition.com/en/product.php?find=GOL-A04-FDE-01-01. As far as the malabsorption of key vitamins and minerals: you need to get yourself a good multi-vitamin! Check out this one: http://www.cnnutrition.com/en/product.php?find=VTA-A05-VMC-01-01

I too have experienced this, especially when it starts to get colder outside. I’ve used the Abreva & every other lip balm/chapstick out there! The only product that has ever worked for me to heal the severely sore corners of my mouth was “CARMEX”. Its sold at most pharmacies and pretty cheap too. This stuff has been around for ages. Recently, I suffered from those sore corners of the mouth for about 3 weeks, seemed like every time I smiled the skin in the corner of my lips ripped open and got worse! I was using regular old chapstick, so I went and got some Burts Bees lip balm and still nothing was helping. My mom told me about the Carmex, so I made another trip to the drug store and picked some up (it comes in a tube or a small, round cannister-I got the tube). About three days after using it (which was 4x a day or more) the corners of my mouth felt so much better and were pretty much back to normal, so if you havent tried the Carmex yet, def get some. I swear by it. Some other good things to remember if you dont already know, do not lick your lips, especially the corners of them and try putting the Carmex on right before you go to bed, that way it stays on your lips through the night, thats what I did and I would wake up with soft, non-chapped lips every morning..I loved it! So I hope this helps:) & Good luck!

Yes, it’s a real condition. And the treatment really depends on the underlying cause. Some people that follow certain diets or avoid certain foods will have various deficiencies. Iron and vitamin B12 are a couple of the dietary deficiencies found in those with angular cheilitis (aka, angular stomatitis). In some, it is caused by a dermatophyte (or small fungal infection) and tends to respond well to a topical antifungal cream. And sometimes, it’s just a function of someone that licks their lips alot or is in cold weather a good bit. In those situations, emollients or moisturizing creams may help repair the damage to the skin.
