When I was in my early teens, I use to get chapped lips all the time. The left pocket of my pants always had extra change and a Chapstick. Wintertime weather seems to bring on chapped lips. The less sever form of Angular cheilitis. This disease is an inflammatory sore that usually forms at the corner of the mouth or on the lips. It appears as cracks and splits that may bleed when the mouth is opened. The causes are unknown. However, most experts agree that nutritional deficiencies can play a major roll. Deficiencies in riboflavin (vitamin B2) iron and zinc are usually manifested by the evidence of poor diets, or even malnutrition. For this reason Angular cheilitis will frequently attack the elderly, especially those who have loss of teeth, which allows for over-closure of the mouth. Medications which dry the skin can also cause or exacerbate the disease. Angular cheilitis is primarily a fungal infection, but can also be caused by bacteria.

Although ointments like lip balm and vasoline seem to give temporary relief, because they increase the level of moisture to the skin they are not recommended as a treatment for Angular cheilitis. Doctors might not recommend it, but an over the counter Athlete’s Foot cream is a good treatment. These creams contain both antibacterial and antifungal characteristics, and should be administered in small dosages to the affected area. Whatever you use don’t over medicate. It can lead to drying of the skin and ultimately spreading the lesions.

If you believe as I do, that the pharmaceutical companies are not looking for cures, and would rather keep us hooked on their medications, than truly help. Please read on...
My research brought me to a site that offers an all natural solution that is a rapid working remedy that can be easily made from ingredients laying around your house. The specified treatment calls for no harsh chemicals and can be performed several times a day or more until the symptoms have completely disappeared. The treatment instructions work by isolating the bacteria and starving them of the required elements it uses to survive and thrive. This is obvious, as you watch after performing the treatment how quickly the infection subsides and the symptoms resolve themselves. So if you are in search of a permanent natural remedy for your Angular cheilitis, than look no further. Please go to:
