For sufferers like you who are subject to several attacks per year, it is understandable if you are constantly on the lookout for inexpensive angular cheilitis treatment methods. Fortunately, there are indeed affordable treatment options for this painful condition (also known as perleche or stomatitis) that work.
As you may be aware, this is an excruciating and awkward infection caused by fungal bacteria that grows in the corners of your mouth. The corners of your mouth may dry up at first and eventually develop into a crack or fissure. When the crack or fissure becomes moist over time, the environment becomes “ripe” for the bacteria to attack and propagate.
If the condition is left untreated, your entire lips will be affected in addition to the corners of your mouth. The pain increases and in severe cases, eating and laughing becomes extremely difficult since you will find it tough to even move your lips as the affected lips become flaky and dried.
Due to the fear of derision or mockery, many sufferers like you search daily for both expensive as well as inexpensive angular cheilitis treatment. This is because the effect of this infection is not just on the physical aspect of the sufferer.
You may become more reserved and withdrawn as you feel ridiculed due to those visible symptoms on your face. You relationships will suffer since you may feel depressed so much so that you detest the simple acts of hugging or holding hands, let alone kissing.
Despite costly visits to many medical doctors, many patients like you unfortunately do not enjoy long term relief. This is because the prescribed medication typically does little to address the cause of the problem and at best will only provide short term relief.
Fortunately, there are affordable treatment methods that had worked for some sufferers.
Firstly, if “chapped lips” (a less severe condition) is your problem, you can address the possible nutritional deficiency cause by consuming quality supplements that may include vitamins B1 and B12.
Where inadequate moisture is the cause of the condition, you can either:
- Apply shea butter and olive / coconut oil frequently on your lips, or
- Use moisturizing lipstick or protective lip balm for short term relief
If you use non-metal dentures, consider regularly soaking your dentures overnight (a solution made up of 10 parts water to 1 part household bleach). This is a preventive measure against the accumulation of fungal (candida) depositories.
Other than these methods, there are also online resources that outline other inexpensive angular cheilitis treatment methods that are not as widely known. These lesser known solutions are surprisingly safe and effective and work by isolating and eliminating the problematic bacteria using common household items.
