The skin around the corners of the mouth may feel scaly in there may be itching as well. Some people experience unpleasant tastes and other symptoms, but there are things that can help with this particular condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be rather debilitating until you know how to deal with it because even though it seems like drinking more water or moistening up the sides of the mouth would be an easy fix, it is usually not that simple. In addition, it can be painful because when the mouth becomes cracked, blisters form and bleeding occurs, the sides of your mouth can sting and make it difficult to concentrate on anything else throughout the day. But there may be some natural remedies that may solve this problem. Let\u2019s take a look at eight of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Change Your Diet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the changes that you can make includes changes to your diet<\/a>. That\u2019s because this illness can be caused by a deficiency in certain minimal. Most notably, if you have a deficiency in zinc, then you may experience symptoms similar to Angular Cheilitis.

2. Include a Supplement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are not able or willing to make major changes to your diet, then you may want to go with a supplement <\/a>instead. There are a lot of supplements on the market these days. It is difficult to find a single supplement that will give you all of the nutrients that you need. In addition, sometimes you do not want a supplement that will give you every nutrient because you\u2019re getting a lot of them from your food anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why the best course of action when it comes to supplements is to figure out what you are getting from your diet already. Once you can estimate which nutrients you\u2019re getting from your diet and which ones you might be lacking, then you can pick and choose particular supplements that will make up for the rest. This ensures that you do not take too many nutrients and minerals which can sometimes be harmful as well as ensures that you get the ones that you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Avoid Infection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You should also take steps to avoid any infections. This illness can actually be caused by an infection<\/a>. When saliva builds up on the corners of the mouth the skin may crack. Licking your lips is a perfectly natural action to suit the cracked skin and reduce the pain, but there are times of this can actually cause infection. That\u2019s because there are all sorts of germs inside your mouth that you can pass on to the sensitive area when you began running your time over the cracked areas of your lips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows the bacteria to gain a foothold and begin multiplying those areas. This can actually be pretty bad if it progresses although your body will usually take care of it before the infection spreads too far. If you do not find this to be the case, then you definitely want to seek medical attention right away because any infection that is close to the brain should be taken care of with antibiotics immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Use Honey on the Mouth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Honey <\/a>is a great natural remedy for this particular illness. There are two reasons the honey is good. For one thing, it is extremely soothing. When you rub honey on the cracked and sore areas of your lips, it will make them feel better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, honey creates a protective coating that means that even if you do run your tongue over your lips unconsciously, then you may still be able to keep out the bacteria. Many people do not realize just how beneficial honey is. Not only is honey one of the oldest known antibiotics, but it can be used for a variety of medical problems including as a cough suppressant, to treat sleep problems like insomnia and perhaps 100 other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Use Cucumber to Treat Symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cucumber <\/a>can also be useful when it comes to treating Angular Cheilitis. There are several ways that you can use cucumbers to treat this illness. One thing to keep in mind is that cucumbers are naturally healing in cooling, so you can place them directly on the affected area and lay down and you will build and get some relief that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you can also use cucumbers in other ways. Water is an important aspect of any healing process, and adding cucumbers to your water will allow you to get the nutrients from these cucumbers to help your body heal faster. Many people stripped the cucumber rind specifically and then use them to apply directly to the corners of the mouth where this infection lines. There are a lot more nutrients the closer to the rind that you go and not as much water content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Practice Good Oral Hygiene <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making sure that you practice really good oral hygiene <\/a>is another way that you can ensure that this illness does not happen in the first place. Most of the time, Angular Cheilitis heals up on zone, but this can be complicated by an infection. If you brush your teeth regularly and make sure that you get all your gums and close to the corners of your mouth that you will have a much easier time preventing that infection from happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a mouthwash that is specifically designed to kill bacteria, and majorly you are brushing and flossing 2 to 3 times a day. Poor oral hygiene can lead to a lot more than infection of the site of Angular Cheilitis. It can also lead to decay and severe pain later on, so it is definitely worth practicing good brushing and flossing techniques and using an antibacterial mouthwash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Drink Plenty of Water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Water is a miracle cure. Ask any scientists out there just how important water is in the human body and they will be able to demonstrate dozens of ways in which water supports your immune system<\/a> and keeps all systems in the body flowing properly. Unfortunately, most people do not drink nearly enough water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people think that the rule of thumb is eight glasses of water a day and then do not come anywhere near that. The truth is, most people should be drinking a lot more than eight glasses of water per day. The amount of water you should be drinking depends upon your weight and a few other factors. No matter what the number that you are supposed to be drinking daily, you definitely want to increase it when you\u2019re trying to help your body heal from an illness like this \u2013 especially if the site has become infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Make Sure Braces and Dentures Fit Properly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, make sure that dentures and braces fit properly in your mouth. Poorly fitting dentures and braces are one of the most common causes of this particular condition. When you\u2019re braces or dentures do not fit properly, it can easily lead to irritation on the sides of the mouth which can then open up those sore spots so that they are cracked or have open sores <\/a>directly on them at an open invitation to bacteria to infect them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dentures are braces do not fit properly, then you definitely want to go back to your dentist or whoever made the devices and get them to fix them so that they do fit. Most places will not even charge you any additional fees, and the repair procedure should be over with quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
