Angular cheilitis - Generics
Angular cheilitis, also known as perleche or angular stomatitis, is a common inflammatory condition that affects the corners of the mouth. It is characterized by redness, cracking, and soreness at the corners of the lips, which can be painful and make it difficult to eat or speak.
The condition is usually caused by a combination of factors, including moisture, irritation, and infection. Factors that may contribute to the development of angular cheilitis include:
- Excessive saliva production
- Lip-licking or thumb-sucking
- Poorly fitting dentures
- Nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of vitamin B12 or iron
- Yeast or bacterial infections
Angular cheilitis can usually be treated with a combination of topical creams and ointments, as well as addressing any underlying causes. Treatments may include:
- Topical antifungal or antibiotic creams or ointments
- Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and itching
- Oral antifungal or antibiotic medications in severe cases
- Nutritional supplements, such as vitamin B12 or iron, if a deficiency is suspected
- Addressing any underlying dental or oral health issues
Preventing angular cheilitis involves keeping the area around the mouth clean and dry, avoiding excessive licking or sucking of the lips, and addressing any underlying health issues that may contribute to the condition.
