Angular Cheiltis causes are many and varied and can range from over exposure to the sun, cold wind, and cold weather, to poor-fitting dentures,to malnutrition, to vitamin deficiencies, and to cosmetic and contact allergies.
The most common reason that Angular Cheilitis develops is from saliva collecting and staying in the mouth corners over prolonged periods of time. You might ask, what in the world would cause that to happen.
When we are out in the sun, wind, and cold weather, we tend to get dry, chapped lips, this causes us to begin to lick the lips frequently in order to sooth them. This is all unconscious, we don’t even realize that we are doing it.
Since Angular Cheilitis needs a moist environment in which to develop, this lip licking provides a great, really perfect, breeding ground for the Angular Cheilitis causing Candida fungus to grow.
The solution for this cause of Angular Cheilitis is to keep the area dry, and this can be accomplished by a simple at-home Angular Cheilitis remedy.
