In the efforts to treat Angular Cheilitis, there are certain things that need to be understood, and even perhaps a misconception or two to dispel. First, let’s clear up a couple of the misconceptions; it is often thought that this may be a side symptom of the flu, or that the flu brings this condition on – this is just not the case. Belief in this is due to the fact that outbreaks often have a tendency to happen during the fall or the wintertime. Another related belief is that these outbreaks may somehow be related to cold symptoms… again, this is just not so.
To properly treat Angular Cheilitis, we need to fully understand just what actually causes this, so let’s try to shed some light on just what makes these outbreaks tick, and then we can come to a better understanding of just how to treat Angular Cheilitis once and for all. The causes of this can easily be narrowed down to two major factors; #1, creases, folds or wrinkles at the corners of your mouth, and #2, moisture.
Whether we have these folds or wrinkles as a result of old age, misaligned teeth (or dentures) that cause us to close our mouths over them in a way that creates creases at the corners of the mouth, or if we’ve become a little overweight in the face, this supplies a place for the microbial culprit (fungal bacteria) to thrive. Moisture is the other factor that propagates them, acting as the catalyst for their multiplying.
This is the most important bit of data to understand when setting out to treat Angular Cheilitis – fungal bacteria needs moisture to survive… without it, it simply cannot exist. The only problem that remains now is how to dry out the fungal bacteria without drying out our skin to the point of cracking and peeling. Some turn to home remedies which accomplish this, the recipes of which call for natural ingredients such as those readily found in the home kitchen or bathroom. Reports on these home remedies’ use show that relief is immediate, with total elimination of the condition generally happening within days. Finding such a simple and natural home remedy is widely understood as the best method to use to treat Angular Cheilitis.
