A member asked:
Can i kiss my boyfriend if i have angular cheilitis caused by a bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Angular cheilitis: This is usually caused by factors other than infection, although may be secondarily overgrown with fungi, bacteria, and so on. May be treated with topical therapies and if your BF does not have an issue with this is probably OK to go ahead and kiss him.
