How do i treat chronic angular chelitis? i've heard of vitamin b12?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many approaches: Treating this depends on the cause. Angular chelitis is often caused by chronic bacterial or fungal infections but often deficiencies of B2, B3, B6, B12, zinc or iron can predispose, as can allergies to foods, cosmetics etc. See http://www.vividmagazine.net/healthy-living/cure-angular-cheilitis/ and http://www.angularcheilitishelp.org/angular-cheilitis-treatment.php for useful information.
