If you have suffered from the symptom of splits in the corners of your lips for any length of time, I sympathize with you as I had Angular Cheilitis myself for a long time and although it is not a life threatening condition, it does indeed affect the individual in a lot of subtle but profound ways.
The lesions which almost look and feel like paper cuts at the corners of the mouth turn a whitish hue and is surrounded by sore redness. The skin cracks and splits at even a small opening of the mouth to eat or if you drink acidic drinks like orange juice you can expect a lot of pain.
In particular what is embarrassing is strangers in public noticing the condition as it is impossible to hide and even heavy make up cannot disguise the roughness when the condition is in full bloom. The most disquieting thing about having angular cheilitis is that you feel very reluctant to kiss somebody. Not getting affection would not be a big problem for a short time, but Angular Cheilitis is very persistant and getting rid of it is often difficult for most people, the period of time that you don’t want to kiss someone can last months or even years.
I had an outbreak myself before I finally got rid of my infection for good, is 2 and a half years. That last infection was present to varying degrees for a long long time and I found it a major source of embarrassment and stress.
