@dr.heatherderm: Angular cheilitis is a condition in which people develop painful cracks at the corners of their lips. It can be caused by nutritional deficiencies or conditions that predispose saliva to collecting in the corners of the mouth (wearing a CPAP machine, wearing ill fitting dentures, some orthodontia etc.) eating a healthy diet with plenty of green leafy veggies, taking a multivitamin, and using petroleum jelly as a barrier to protect the skin from salivary irritation can be beneficial. Dr. Dan's cortibalm has steroid (hydrocortisone) in it which can reduce inflammation. From the outset, or if these interventions don't help after 2 weeks or so, you can seek help from your PCP who can provide prescription ointments. #dermatologist #dermtok #skintok #dermatologytips #angularcheilitis #oralhealth #drylipshack #dermdocheather

Does using too much mouthwash in a day cause it?

I had this for so long, nothing helped and in the end it turned out it was a strong staph infection!

Hydrocortisone 2% ointment. I had it prescribed and it’s the only thing that works for me 💯

I get this and use petroleum jelly before bed. It seems to be happening more often. Any suggestions?
