Studies show that the elderly, kids, and teenagers are affected the most by Angular Cheilitis. Why is that?
A common cause of Angular Cheilitis is rampant growth of the candida fungus which is always on our skin. It is usually kept from flourishing by our body’s immune system, but when the lip corners stay moist, the fungus is provided a perfect breeding environment, and it results in what we commonly call cracked mouth corners.
When the elderly have ill-fitting dentures, saliva is allowed to accumulate in the mouth corners furnishing the fungus an opportunity to cause infection.
Children and teens are outdoors a lot of the time and the wind, cold weather, and over exposure to sunlight cause their lips to become dry. Of course, the natural solution is to lick the lips in order to make them feel better, this too, provides an opportunity for the fungus to take hold and grow.
Fortunately, today, the angular cheilitis cure has been discovered, and even long term cases can be easily cured with a natural home remedy.
