A sore in the corner of the lips is often a symptom of Angular Chelitis. This persistent affliction affects millions of Americans each year. Angular Chelitis or Perleche is not contagious and is not particularly dangerous medically speaking however it is painful and very unattractive to look at. Being right on the face, the reddened legions usually at the corner of the mouth on each side are quite embarrassing for sufferers.
Angular Chelitis is not contagious so kissing family members or sharing close personal contact is not going to spread the disease. Angular Chelitis is a fungal infection of bacteria in the Candida family (thrush) and often the legions in the corners of the mouth are accompanied by cracked, dry or swollen lips and also an oral yeast infection within the mouth. The tongue becomes coated and has a whitish Grey tinge.
The simplest way for most people to "self diagnose" is by comparing pictures of the condition with their own symptoms. If you are not sure the best advice is to see your doctor, but if you are sure it is Angular Chelitis, there are things you can do.
Unfortunately it is most common for sufferers that go to a doctor to be prescribed 1% hydro cortisone cream. This cream often does little to alleviate the painful symptoms much less cure the condition. Thus many people suffer in silence, simply waiting the affliction out until the next attack.
Essentially Angular Chelitis is caused by a deficiency in vitamins and minerals, iron being one of the most common. Some sufferers report an attack at the onset of winter or a cold snap. It is not conclusive but some people are simply prone to this kind of infection.
