Angular cheilitis is a common condition that causes redness, swelling, and cracking at the corners of the mouth. It can be caused by dry or cracked lips, yeast infections, bacterial infections, or not getting enough nutrients. Symptoms may include pain, burning, itching, and sometimes small sores or open wounds at the corners of the mouth. Angular cheilitis can be uncomfortable and may make it hard to eat, speak, or smile. Treatment typically involves keeping the affected area clean and dry, applying lip balm to moisturize the lips, and using antifungal or antibacterial creams if an infection is present. In some cases, a healthcare provider may recommend supplements to address any underlying nutritional problems.
