Angular cheilitis, commonly referred to as cracked corners of the mouth, can occur when a person is experiencing internal heat or lacks certain vitamins or trace elements. It is recommended that patients rest more and appropriately supplement their diet with vitamins and trace elements to enhance their immune response, which can aid in the repair of cracked corners of the mouth. Therefore, patients must pay attention to adjusting their lifestyle and dietary habits, get plenty of rest, engage in some outdoor activities, and relax their mind. Additionally, it is beneficial for patients to consume fresh vegetables and fruits and supplement with vitamins and trace elements as needed, which can significantly aid in the recovery from angular cheilitis. Patients should also drink plenty of water and maintain good oral hygiene habits.

What causes itchy angular cheilitis?

Angular cheilitis, commonly known as cracked corners of the mouth, is relatively common in daily life and usually seen in children. It generally occurs on one or both sides of the corners of the mouth. The causes of the condition can vary, including nutritional deficiencies, candidal angular cheilitis, or bacterial angular cheilitis. It is recommended that patients experiencing this condition consult a hospital for diagnosis. Topical application of anti-inflammatory ointments can be very effective in local inflammation control and repair. Dietary adjustments should include eating bland foods and avoiding spicy or irritating foods. Maintaining a regular lifestyle without staying up late and developing good living habits are advised. Appropriate intake of vitamins or trace elements, and possibly oral antiviral medications, can also be considered.

Treatment methods for children's cheilitis

In cases of angular cheilitis in children, it generally appears during the acute phase, especially if the child consumes spicy foods. Secondly, a deficiency in vitamins can also cause angular cheilitis. At this point, it is appropriate to supplement with vitamin B and vitamin C, and enhance care by maintaining oral cleanliness, drinking plenty of water, and favoring mild or cool liquid diets to avoid irritating foods. Additionally, topical treatments like watermelon frost and Xinnei San can be sprayed on the affected area, and for severe pain, lidocaine can be applied topically. If the child has a fever or other underlying illness, treatment should focus on the primary disease. Furthermore, it is also important to ensure the child's diet includes plenty of vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins B and C.

The causes of angular cheilitis

Angular cheilitis significantly impacts our daily eating habits; once affected, it often causes pain during meals. There are many factors behind the onset of angular cheilitis, primarily due to nutritional deficiencies, especially a lack of Vitamin B6. Therefore, we should avoid picky or poor eating habits and consume foods rich in vitamins to supplement deficiencies. Another cause is infection by bacteria or viruses. We need to enhance our immunity to prevent these pathogens from causing angular cheilitis. Additionally, irritants in the mouth, such as foreign bodies, can lead to angular cheilitis. When getting dental crowns or undergoing treatment, it is crucial to choose proper medical procedures to reduce irritation to the oral mucosa.

Can iodophor be used for angular cheilitis?

Angular cheilitis, commonly known as soreness at the corners of the mouth, generally occurs more frequently in children. These situations may be related to children often being picky eaters, having an aversion to food, and having weak immune resistance, leading to a deficiency in some vitamins and trace elements within the body. Angular cheilitis is a very common clinical disease. When angular cheilitis occurs, it causes a very intense pain, which can affect the patient's ability to eat, preventing the wide opening of the mouth to chew food. Topically, some iodine can be applied to disinfect the area. However, it is recommended that patients should use some anti-inflammatory ointments locally to help the healing of the area effectively. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to diet, avoiding being picky or averse to food, and to eat a variety of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, which can be very helpful in preventing recurrences of angular cheilitis.
