Angular chelitis: Saliva macerates and irritates this area leading to eczema, fissuring and secondary bacterial and yeast infections. Poorly fitting dentures and lip licking predispose to recurrence. Apply antiyeast creams twice daily. And mild steruid a few hours later. "stop topical therapy when inflammation is clear. Apply a thick protective ointment (aquaphor or chapstick at bedtime.
