Press Release Summary: You have cracks at the corners of your mouth. They are
painful and itchy, bringing you discomfort when eating or speaking. You may be
having angular cheilitis.



Press Release Body: Fl, USA, April 26, 2008...................
Angular cheilitis is among the many skin problems that are chronic. The mouth is
dotted by inflamed bilateral lesions that are painful at the corners. It can either
be Staphylococcal (bacterial) or Candidal (fungal) infections that are characterized
by shallow crusts and bleeding ulcers at its most severe.

Angular Cheilitis Causes

Infections Both Bacterial and Fungal) - Angular cheilitis are worsened and caused by
pathogens that are Staphylococcal (bacterial or viral) or Candidiasis (fungal or
yeast) by nature.

Deficiency in Nutrients - Angular cheilitis is often initially caused by nutritional
deficiencies such as defiency in Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin), B-3 (Niacin), B-6
(Pyridoxine), or B-12 (Cyanocobalamin) and iron deficiency anemia.

Improper Closure of the Mouth - Angular cheilitis is also caused by dentures that
don\'t fit properly. Improperly fitting dentures cause folds and friction that
eventually lead to angular cheilitis. This is basically because the denture causes
improper closure of the mouth. Saliva builds up at the mouth\'s corners and pathogens
grow in this environment. Another cause of angular cheilitis is the over-closure of
the mouth in the elderly. This is caused by the loss of vertical dimension from the
loss of teeth.

Low Temperature - During winter time, less severe manifestations of angular
cheilitis normally occur. This is most prevalent among teenagers and young children.

Who is at Risk?

Though more common among the elderly, angular cheilitis affects anybody from every
age group. Also vulnerable are people suffering from allergies and skin conditions
such as seborrhoiec and atopic dermatitis, as well as people using isotretinoin as
treatment for acne. A weakened immune system, malnutrition, and an unhealthy diet
increases susceptibility.

Treatments On hand

Angular cheilitis is treatable. For mild cases, applying paraffin-based ointment or
lip balm for protection and keeping a healthy diet and good hygiene should suffice.
For worse conditions, prescription from a physician is required.Prescription from a
doctor is required for advanced conditions. Antifungals in topical form like
Nystatin, Econazole, and Clotrimazole may be prescribed by your dermatologist.

Angular cheilitis may not be a serious and deadly problem, but it still requires a
lot of attention as it subjects the sufferer to emotional alienation. Simple things
like kissing, eating, and speaking become difficult.
