A member asked:

I have angular cheilitis in the corner of my mouth, my doctor gave me nystatin & triamcinolone cream. should i avoid kissing/oral sex until it clears?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Well...: Angular cheilitis means the skin at the corner of the mouth is broken, cracked, and inflamed. Kissing would mean rubbing, stretching, and sucking on that broken skin. It is likely that rubbing, stretching, and sucking on an area of broken skin anywhere on the body would interfere with proper healing.
