<span style="font-family: inherit;">Angular Cheilitis (also known as Perleche, Cheilosis, or Angular Stomatitis) is a skin affliction that affects many people. This is especially true in the winter. Manifesting as cracks, lesions, redness and even bleeding in the corners of the mouth and the surrounding skin area, it is a painful condition that nobody should have to suffer from as it is highly preventable!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a usually a few different factors working together to cause Angular Cheilitis. The first, and perhaps most important element, is diet and nutrition. The state of your skin can generally be seen as a reflection of your overall health and what’s going on internally. A condition like Angular Cheilitis is often your body’s way of telling you there are some important nutritional requirements not being met.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ensuring that you are consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals is the best way to prevent Angular Cheilitis. A daily multi-vitamin can also be beneficial.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Too much sugar in your diet can encourage the growth of yeast (candida). Yeast feeds off of sugar, which can disturb the natural balance in your body and lead to yeast infections such as oral thrush. It is important to limit your sugar intake to prevent this from occurring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Consuming sugar-free acidophilus yogurt can help to populate your body with good bacteria and help fight yeast infections.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The second thing to remember is that chapped lips can often lead to Angular Cheilitis. Cracks in the lips and skin can be the ideal place for bacteria or fungal infections to settle in and start breeding. This is why it’s so important to make sure you drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Keep your lips protected with lip balm when:</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Out in the cold</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Your lips will be exposed to wind or sun</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Overnight or while sleeping</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">This will help keep your lips soft, moisturized, and prevent them from chapping.</span></li>

Angular Cheilitis, also known as Perleche, is a condition that affects the sensitive skin around the lips and mouth (especially one or both corners of the lips) and manifests as cracks, splits, redness, pain, and sores. It is especially common in the cold winter months and in people who are lacking essential nutrition in their diets.<br />
<br />
<h2>
What does Angular Cheilitis look like?</h2>
Angular Cheilitis is characterized by extremely chapped lips, redness, cracks, cuts, splits, or in severe cases, even sores around the mouth.<br />
<br />
<h2>
What causes Angular Cheilitis?</h2>
There are a couple of potential factors that work together to cause Angular Cheilitis, both external and internal. There is almost always one or more underlying nutritional deficiencies that weaken the body, such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Iron, and Zinc. The condition itself is generally caused by either a bacterial or a fungal infection. Addressing both the internal and external issues will mean the difference between a temporary treatment and a permanent cure.<br />

<h2>
Is Angular Cheilitis contagious?</h2>
Angular Cheilitis is NOT contagious.<br />
<br />
<h2>
How is Angular Cheilitis different from cold sores?</h2>
Cold sores are caused by the Herpes simplex virus and are highly contagious. Herpes is a virus that stays in your body forever, causing periodic cold sore outbreaks. It is not possible to cure Herpes; only to manage it. Angular Cheilitis is not caused by a virus and is 100 percent curable.<br />
<br />
<h2>
How can I cure my Angular Cheilitis?</h2>
The most effective cure for Angular Cheilitis is about finding fast relief from the physical manifestations of the condition while simultaneously correcting the imbalances in your body. If you only treat the physical symptoms, you may find temporary relief but unless the underlying issues are understood and resolved, you will find that more outbreaks are very likely.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942522370665628594.post-15974505213731353862016-01-24T01:56:00.004-08:002016-01-25T00:32:34.557-08:00Angular Cheilitis or a Cold Sore?<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Many people confuse the two because some of the symptoms associated with each condition can be very similar.<br />
<h2>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Herpes simplex</span></b></h2>
Cold sores can be effectively treated but not cured. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus and are highly contagious. The virus spreads through contact with other infected people and stays with you forever.<br />
<br />
Cold sores are small blisters around the mouth area that generally will heal by themselves within a few weeks, although healing can be expedited with creams and medications.<br />
<br />
<b>Cold sore symptoms:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Blisters or sores on or around the mouth that may ooze</li>
<li>Sore throat</li>
<li>Fever</li>
<li>Tingling or itching around the mouth and lips</li>
<li>Headache and muscle achea</li>
<li>Angular cheilitis (Perleche)</li>

Angular Cheilitis is not caused by a virus and is completely curable. It can be a chronic condition for many people, especially for those with little understanding of what commonly causes it.<br />
<br />
Angular Cheilitis is actually generally a symptom of an underlying problem. Nutritional deficiencies and imbalances within the body are often to blame. This is crucial to understand in order to find a permanent cure.<br />
<br />
Angular Cheilitis is not a skin disease and can not be cured by medications or creams. Often these are prescribed but don’t really help.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Symptoms of Angular Cheilitis include:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Extremely dry lips</li>
<li>Painful cracks or bumps around the corners of the mouth</li>
<li>Bleeding</li>
<li>Redness around the mouth</li>
<li>A sore or stinging sensation around the mouth</li>
<li>White coating on the tongue</li>
<li>Lesions and crusting around the corners of the mouth</li>
<li>Pain when laughing, eating, or smiling</li>

</script><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the first questions that Angular Cheilitis sufferers normally ask me is – “where can I find an effective Angular Cheilitis cure”?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, the first thing that I have to say is, Angular Cheilitis is not the easiest skin disorder to get rid of, and that’s actually quite strange when you consider that the mouth is normally one of the fastest parts of the body to repair itself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Don’t believe me? Well, just think back to the last time you had a mouth ulcer – it probably healed itself with little or no help inside a couple of days - right? So whats different about Angular Cheilitis? Well, the problem lies with the bacterial or fungicidal infection that’s responsible for the condition. Of course, the other problem with getting an effective Angular Cheilitis cure, is that quite often you don’t correctly identity the problem. Most of us just think we have chapped lips, but this can be a costly mistake, for whereas chapped lips will clear up in a relatively short period of time, Angular Cheilitis can take weeks, if not months to recover from. Whats more, the lesions might not disappear for a very long time thereafter if some kind of intervention is not made.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Most of the time, we simply apply some lip balm or even compounds such as neosporin to combat the problem, but, unfortunately these are almost completely ineffective against the bacteria that cause Angular Cheilitis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You see, all that they do is temporarily relieve the symptoms and cause a brief respite from the pain. However, they aren’t tackling the underlying condition, and therefore, they do not effect a long term cure. Sadly, using these kinds of ’remedies’ will not get rid of Angular Cheilitis, but, instead, they will simply mask the underlying problem and can, in fact, often make it worse.</span><br />

</script>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For example, when I first developed the condition (many years ago now), I simply chose to ignore it, believing that it would clear up on its own. After a few days, when the symptoms got worse, I finally decided to apply some lip balm. Yes, I thought that it was just a case of dry and chapped lips. Unfortunately I was wrong!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To make things worse, wearing Strawberry lip balm tends to make you lick your lips more – yes it does taste nice – and that, in turn, just makes the problem worse. After a few weeks (and a lot of pain), I realized the condition that I was suffering from was more than a simple case of chapped lips and that I would have to take some kind of action. The strange thing is, I got lucky because I was also a keen swimmer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You see,I used to go swimming every day but just after I contracted my case of Angular Cheilitis, I was also laid up with a leg injury meaning that I could barely walk, let alone get into the pool. It was only when I recovered and went swimming again on a regular basis, that the condition started to clear up. It turns out that the chlorine in the water was killing the bacteria and clearing my Cheilitis up! That, combined with some sunshine ,and outdoor exercise actually went a long way to getting rid of it altogether.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>But, I was lucky – you might not be!</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If I had known then what I know now, I would have reacted a lot sooner and used one of the many natural cures for Angular Cheilitis that are available.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Angular Cheilitis is a nasty condition which is usually the result of a Candida-type infection around the corners of the mouth. It can be particularly bad in older people or people who wear dentures. Although hardly a life threatening condition it is, nevertheless unpleasant, unsightly and, if left untreated, it can worsen to the point where it causes real pain and embarrassment.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are, as you might expect, a number of over the counter remedies for the condition, but many of these use unpleasant chemicals and can be quite expensive. These days, more and more people are looking for natural remedies for conditions such as Angular Cheilitis, so I decided to do a quick bit of research to find out what you can do to clear the condition up without resorting to the drugstore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As it turns out, there are quite a few herbal remedies and some decent household remedies which are very effective at getting rid of the condition, and whats more, many of them clear it up quicker than over the counter products. That’s why you should never believe the drug companies hype and marketing – they do spend an awful lot of money on marketing these kinds of products (maybe its because we all spend a lot of money on getting rid of conditions like AC) – and, instead you should try and use some of the freely available, and natural products that I will now discuss.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Start With Your Diet</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first thing that you can do, is not to use a product but, instead, alter your diet! Most people in Western civilizations have a fairly poor diet. That’s not to say we are all starving (just the opposite in fact) but our diets are usually lacking in the essential vitamins and minerals that we need for a healthy lifestyle. I’m not really a fan of vitamin supplements – although they do work, but rather, I would recommend something called sub-lingual liquid vitamins.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These vitamins are easily absorbed into the body and easier for many people to take. They gave the added benefit of being faster working which is good. Prices are about the same as normal vitamin pills so there’s not really much of a disadvantage to using them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Vitamin B2</b> – also known as Riboflavin has been shown to deal with AC very effectively but, of course, if you don’t like vitamin supplements then you can always eat more mushrooms, spinach, milk or nuts which are rich in vitamin B2.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Other powerful home remedies include aloe vera which is available in a range of creams and gels, honey, petroleum jelly and even simple medicated lip balm.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, the more potent medications are those that will be advised by your dermatologist and these can include topical So far, any medication that contains these elements can be considered a sure and easy way on how to treat Angular cheilitis.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Topical antifungal creams</b> can reduce the fungal infection by killing the fungus that is on the skin. Look out for creamsthat contain antifungal medications that contain triamcinolone, nystatin, and acetoide.It also relieves the itching, inflammation and rawness of the affected skin. However, you must know the proper application of the cream because basically any topical cream intended to treat wounds contains steroids so avoid ingesting it or else you can experience bad side effects. How to treat Angular cheilitis once you have the cream should be done with great cautions. Topical ointments that have steroids are not also applicable for children’s use.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Topical creams can also be very useful in the fight against AC. One topical cream - even honey - can aid in bringing the condition under control. I am an advocate of home remedies and natural cures, so I really don’t approve of doctor prescribed medications. This is why I underwent the above treatments to get my angular cheilitis under control. A combination of B vitamins, Honey and topical creams seemed to be the winning combination for me, but everyone’s body is different.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942522370665628594.post-74601046465801517692016-01-24T01:52:00.001-08:002016-01-25T00:32:57.224-08:00What Are The Causes Of Angular Cheilitis?<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

</script><span style="font-family: inherit;">Angular Cheilitis is a skin complaint caused by a fungal infection called Candida. Because its a fungal infection, the problem can prove very difficult to get rid of, especially if you simply choose to do nothing and ignore it. Of course, there are over the counter cures available but these can be expensive and, sometimes, they aren’t even that effective. The main question that we will be consider in this post is ‘what are the causes of Angular Cheilitis’ but we will also discuss what the symptoms are.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The most obvious symptom of the condition is that cracks appear at the corners of the mouth. If not treated quickly these cracks can spread , deepen and even start to bleed. As you can imagine, they can become quite painful. Like most medical conditions, its best to catch and deal with the symptoms at the earliest possible stage. Although Angular Cheilitis is not life threatening, it can be very uncomfortable, and even lead to complications further down the line if not treated quickly and effectively.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As I mentioned above the cause of the problem is a a fungal infection similar to that of athletes foot. This fungal infection likes to live and grow in damp, dark areas, and so the folds around the corners of the mouth make an ideal place for it to take hold and spread. Angular Cheilitis can be caused by vitamin B and iron deficiencies, by excess salivation and even by prolonged periods of vomiting. Normally, it can be stopped fairly easily by taking steps such as adding vitamin B12 rich food into your daily diet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The best cure will, of course, depend on what the root cause of your particular condition is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another less obvious cause of angular cheilitis is excessive drooling. During the drooling, saliva seeps out from the corners of the mouth and causes excessive moisture to build up. Excessive moisture caused by this saliva builds an environment that’s perfect for the growth of fungal infection i.e. Candida. Basically, the bacteria loves dampness and star to multiply quickly. One of the best natural cures for this condition is actually thought to be ginger. One natural treatment involving ginger is to take a 1″ ginger stick and boil it in a cup of water for 3-4 minutes. You should then drink the solution twice a day over the period of a month or more until the drooling stops. Ginger can be an acquired taste, however, but you can alter the taste to suit by adding sugar or even salt to your own requirements.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It goes without saying that one of the major causes of Angular Cheilitis is poor personal hygiene. The cleanliness of your hands in particular is very important when trying to stop the spread of Angular Cheilitis, especially during the early stages of the condition. You should always use good quality antibacterial soap or liquid hand-wash and be sure to wash your hands several times a day. You should also use lukewarm water to wash the infected area; don’t use any soap on this area as it will make the condition worse. Using a gentle approach such as this will enable you to clear up the condition with the minimum amount of pain and fuss.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Angular Cheilitis looks bad and can be painful but, luckily, its also quite easy to clear up. If you find that your Cheilitis starts blistering and some of the methods discussed above don’t word, then you may need to take more direct action. Luckily, I have found a very good guide that shows you how to clear up Angular Cheilitis using only safe and easily obtainable natural ingredients.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942522370665628594.post-82616554638898793562016-01-24T01:51:00.004-08:002016-01-25T00:33:10.238-08:00Treating Chapped Lips<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

</script><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the conditions that often accompanies, or is sometimes even confused with AC is chapped lips. This is a very common condition that is most prevalent during the winter because of the cold , dry weather. If you suffer from dry, chapped lips you will also know that your lips will also start cracking and can become quite painful if you don’t take some remedial action. Its often caused by the evaporation of moisture from the lips and, therefore, as you might expect, many of the most effective chapped lips treatments involve ways of keeping your lips moisturised.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Dont Lick Your Lips!</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Many people believe that licking your lips will cure the problem, but, in fact, this is completely wrong and will actually make your chapped lips worse. Its a natural reaction to lick dry,chapped lips and it may even bring about a temporary respite, albeit for a few minutes, but because you are applying your saliva to the outer part of the skin, it will evaporate quickly leaving your lips even drier than before.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition, most people aren’t aware of the fact that saliva also contains enzymes that actually make the situation much worse. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">So, in short, don’t lick your dry chapped lips if you want them to get better!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Dont Breath Through your Mouth</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have a cold, or if you are a heavy snorer you may find that chapped lips are also a problem. This is because these conditions tend to make you breath more through your mouth, thus drying out your lips.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If this is a problem, then try applying some decongestant ointment under your nose before going to bed at night or, alternatively, you could try applying ‘sleep-strips’ which are an over-the-counter anti-snoring remedy. These are cheap and effective and completely hypo-allergenic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Stay Out Of The Sun</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Everyone should be aware of the dangers of execessive exposure to the sun these days, but this doesn’t stop most of us spending as much time as we can outdoors sun-bathing. If you simply have to top up your tan then make sure that you wear a suitable lip balm with built in sunscreen. This will keep your lips moisturised and also prevent them drying out and burning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Use The Right Toothpaste And Mouthwash</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some toothpastes and mouthwashes contain chemicals which can cause chapped lips in some people. Tartar-control toothpaste is a particular problem so, if you normally use this then you might consider simply brushing with baking powder which will offer the same benefits without the nasty side-effects (Its also a lot cheaper as well). Interestingly, using baking soda can also help protect your teeth against cavities and help to whiten the teeth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Get Your Vitamin B!</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">AC and chapped lips can also be brought about by a vitamin B deficiency. Luckily, this is easily remedied either by taking a suitable vitamin supplement, or, as a better option, you can eat more tasty foods such as eggs, cheese,meat and whole-grains which are high in Vitamin B and also liver and kidneys which are rich in iron.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Treating Chapped Lips</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course, all of the above advice is great if you are trying to prevent chapped lips but what if you are already suffering from them? Well, luckily, the condition can usually be quite easily cured. The best solution is simply to use a suitable lip balm – there are loads of them available,and some even come in a range of yummy flavors. Make sure that you keep your lip balm applied constantly, especially after meals or after drinking. While I’m on the subject of drinking, its also important that you remain hydrated so be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day or, if your condition is particulary severe or keeps recurring you could even think about adding a room humidifier to keep the air around you moist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Chapped lips treatment is, luckily, simple, cheap and usually very effective. Just make sure that you avoid licking your lips, use a suitable lip balm and stick to a healthy diet.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942522370665628594.post-31032566302249756152016-01-24T01:49:00.000-08:002016-01-25T00:33:18.653-08:00What Is Angular Cheilitis?<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Cheilitis can be a nasty, uncomfortable condition, particularly
if you are young, or in-firmed The condition causes
inflammation at the corners of the mouth – usually on both sides,
although in some cases just in one corner – and this can, in turn,
lead to deep cracks or fissures which will become very
painful if left untreated. In severe cases bleeding can
occur and shallow ulcers may form along with a nasty,
unsightly crust.</span></div>

At Risk?</span></h2>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 1; padding: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The
condition itself is usually caused by a fungal infection, but
other contributing factors include bacterial infection and recent
studies have even shown that it can also sometimes be attributed to
nutritional deficiencies brought about by poor diet or malnutrition.
Obviously, with such a wide range of contributing factors,<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></strong><strong>the
condition can prove difficult to get rid</strong> of
and, if not treated effectively, it can actually lead
to further complications.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Surprisingly,
people who suffer from bulimia or other weight related disorders,
particularly people who tend to vomit a lot are also particularly at
risk of developing Angular Cheilitis. Elderly people tend
to develop it as they lose their teeth and the mouth overhangs
causing folds to appear at the corners. These folds of skin become
susceptible to fungal infections of this kind.</span></div>

<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.21in; orphans: 1; padding: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Even
wearing dentures can cause the condition to develop. In fact, recent
studies have indicated that wearing false teeth is a
particularly common reason for people developing the condition. It is
believed that Angular Cheilitis develops in these cases because the
upper jaw muscles are not supported correctly by dentures and
this leads, in turn, to a moisture accumulating at the corners
of the mouth. As I discussed earlier, bacteria and fungal infections
love these warm, dark, moist places so its not long before they take
up home!</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.21in; orphans: 1; padding: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Environmental
factors also play a part in the development of the condition with
mild cases being caused by things such as cold weather. Many of us
have, at some time or other, probably suffered from chapped lips. If
you are one of those unlucky people, then you might be shocked to
discover that you have actually been suffering from Cheilitis, not
just from a simple case of chapped skin. That explains why, when you
lick your lips to keep them moist, it actually makes them feel worse.
The reason is that you are actually spreading the fungal infection
that cases the problem. Bet you didn’t know that, as they
say!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">How
Do You Treat It?</span></h2>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.21in; orphans: 1; padding: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">As
I mentioned above, treatment really depends on what caused the
condition in the first place. Simple cases can be cured by applying
anti-fungal creams or a gentle topical antibiotic but, if you prefer
to use natural remedies, then there are several very effective ones
that give great results. Some of these even bring relief overnight –
if that sounds interesting then click on the link below to:</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.21in; orphans: 1; padding: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">If
you are anemic then you should take iron supplements. Not only will
this help your overall condition but it will also help to
prevent AC, because yet another contributory factor in this
condition is iron deficiency. See, I said it would be difficult to
pin down the exact reason!</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.21in; orphans: 1; padding: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">When
you are outdoors, remember to stay warm and dry, and avoid exposure
to the elements. Not only is this sensible advice to keep you free
from viral infections and colds, but it
also prevents Angular Cheilitis. If you spend a lot of time
outdoors consider using a barrier cream such as petroleum jelly
applied around your lips. This will prevent cracking and keep them
moist without allowing them to become wet and infected. Also, don’t
allow saliva to dry around the corners of your mouth because
this can lead to infection.</span></div>
<h2 class="western" style="border: none; line-height: 0.25in; margin-bottom: 0.13in; margin-top: 0in; orphans: 1; padding: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Its
Not All Bad News</span></h2>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.21in; orphans: 1; padding: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Although
the condition can be irritating and look horrible, its not actually
all that serious; probably not any more so than a fungal infection in
your toenails or jock itch. There are also a number of very effective
cures but, one slight drawback is that some of them can be expensive
and a lot of the commercial ones use fairly yeuchy chemicals and
creams which taste awful and can lead, in some cases, to
further complications.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.21in; orphans: 1; padding: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Of
course, like most things, it makes sense to consult your
doctor before doing anything . Chances are, though, they will simply
recommend an anti-fungal or anti-bacterial cream, but, as we
have said, this doesn’t suit everybody. Apart
from anything else, these creams can take weeks to
work and, in some cases may have no effect whatsoever. That’s why
its a great idea, to try and find out more about curing the
condition naturally, using drug-free products that work quickly and
efficiently. If you would like to know more about how to do
this, then just click the link below:</span></div>
