Treating Angular Cheilitis

The best Angular Cheilitis cure definitely isn’t anything you can find in any over the counter products at the drug store, or in antibiotics, or even hydro cortisone products. Why is this? First of all, the microbial cause of this condition is fungal bacteria. As anyone who understands why there is no actual cure for the common cold knows, bacteria is an ever changing, ever adapting and ever evolving micro-enemy. Using antibiotics to attack bacteria is like trying to eliminate a hundred thousand rapidly multiplying cockroaches from a ten square mile sized junkyard – you’ll never get all of them, as so many will escape to aggressively multiply and continue to repossess the area, stronger than before. It’s that simple. You’d have a better chance of nailing soup to a wall.


Hydro cortisone products also fail miserably for the most part, and this is why many have turned to alternate means of medication for an Angullar Cheilitis cure. This condition, also known as Perleche or Stomitis, is often thought to be a side symptom of the flu due to the fact that outbreaks often happen during an autumn cold spell or in the winter months. However, this is not the case. What actually causes this is two major factors; creases, wrinkles or folds at the corners of the mouth, and moisture.

The reasons for the folds could be that perhaps we’ve become a little overweight in the face, or maybe our teeth (or dentures) are misaligned, causing us to “over-close” our mouths over them, or perhaps we have acquired the wrinkles that come with old age. Naturally, moisture would collect in these areas, and that is where fungal bacteria can tend to thrive. An important fact that should not be ignored here is that fungal bacteria absolutely cannot exist in a moisture free environment. If you can dry it up, it dies, as simple as that. That’s the way it works, and this knowledge is the major step towards understanding what would make an effective Angular Cheilitis cure.

The problem now seems to be in finding out how we can dry all the fungal bacteria from a naturally moist area, without damaging our skin and unhealthily drying it out to the point of cracking and peeling. With this in mind, many have turned to natural home remedies that actually accomplish this, using natural ingredients that are easily attainable. Many recipes include natural ingredients that are all most usually found within the home. These types of remedies have become the most popular, with the highest reported success rates. Clearly, using natural home remedies such as these is the best and most effective means to an Angular Cheilitis cure.
