Thousands or even millions of people are
searching every year for an effective treatment that will get them rid for good
of Angular Cheilitis. Some manage to relieve themselves from the pains this
skin conditions causes, while others continue to struggle for months with this
terrible skin condition. For those who are still trying to get rid of Angular
Cheilitis but still have not yet found a good result, here are some tips which
may make your fight easier.
As you probably know, the first thing
you have to do when the first signs of Angular Cheilitis appear is to discover
the cause which determined the apparition of this skin condition. You can make
an examination of the area and see if there have been folds where moisture
could be retained. If you have had some teeth pulled out or if you are wearing
dentures, such folds may appear in time. If this is the issue, you should fix
that by making an appointment to your dentist. Also, some blood tests will show
you if your body has all the nutrients and vitamins it needs to function
properly. In most of the cases, the Angular Cheilitis is triggered by
malnutrition and anemia, thus making these tests will help you see whether this
is your case, too.
Once you know the results of the blood
tests you should know if you should take vitamin supplements or your Angular
Cheilitis was only a surface problem, caused by excessive moisture in the
corners of your mouth.
Apart from addressing the problem from
the interior to the exterior, you will also have to apply some creams or
ointments which will alleviate your suffering and at the same time will
actively work on the sores. What most Angular Cheilitis treatments do is create
a dry environment in which the bacteria cannot develop and trap them between
the layer of cream and the layer of skin, thus killing them. Hydrocortisone,
Mycolog II cream (which contains triamcinolone acetonide and nystatin) and
Miconazole are the most popular medications prescribed by dermatologists in
such conditions.
In addition to that, it is advisable not
to stay in cold or humid places, not to lick your lips, drink plenty of water
and include in your diet foods rich in vitamins and minerals while excluding
the ones which contain chemical additives and saturated foods. Respecting these
steps you will be able to keep Angular Cheilitis under control and even treat
it for good if you stick to the program your dermatologist established for you
each and every day.
