What causes cracked mouth corners ? 

Cracked mouth corners are the symptoms of a problem called angular cheilitis. This problem is caused by the infection of the corners of the mouth (labial commissures) by a fungus or a bacteria.

This infection happens as a result of any conditions that cause saliva to accumulate in the sides of the lips. Such conditions include the constant licking of the lips, the drooling during sleep and the use of dentures that don't fit properly.

Angular cheiltis is more common among people who have a deficiency in iron or in vitamin B2, B3 or B12. It is also common among those who have a compromised immune system.

Treatment for cracked mouth corners : 

The most widely prescribed treatment for cracked mouth corners is 1% hydro-cortizone which is available under many different brand names.

In some cases, a doctor may want to determine the origine of the infection and then prescribe a treatment accordingly. If the diagnosis reveals that the infection is fungal, then he would prescribe an anti-fungal cream Like Mycostatin-ll.

If it turns out that the infection was caused by a bacteria, the doctor would prescribe an antibiotic along with vitamins.

How to cure cracked mouth corners with home remedies : 

It is scientifically known that the type of pathogens that cause angular cheilitis can't survive in a dry environment. In other words, you can kill these pathogens simply by suspending them in a dry environment.

This can be achieved easily with a simple home remedy that dries out the moisturized area of the infection to kill the fungus or the bacteria in a matter of hours. Click here to learn more about this remedy !
