A member asked:
I have cracks in my mouth corners that keep reoccurring. i've tried antifungal and cortisone as well as lip blame etc... what else could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Angular cheilitis: The cause is secondary to overgrowth of microorganisms at the corners of the mouth (usually the yeast candida albicans). The treatment is to treat the yeast with medicine such as Nystatin and/or by addressing some of the causes which lead to the overgrowth in the first place (excessive saliva pooling at the corners of the mouth, lip licking ). See your dermatologist and/or dentist for evaluation.
