How to cure Angular cheilitis?

[Alfieri]

Angular cheilitis, otherwise known as those pesky cuts in the corner of the mouth (that skin that stretches when you open your lips). How do you guys get rid of it?
I've been using chapstick all the time, both medical ones and ones with moisturizers. I also drink plenty of water. Is it my air conditioner that's causing it?

Do you guys have any other remedies for healing these annoying scars?

I'm sure that The Joker will know.

I had no idea that was even a thing and now I'm horrified! How painful must that be?

Lol @ Poki though. Nice.

It's not really painful, it just stings whenever you yawn or open your mouth to eat something, so it gets annoying. And I can't have any acidic fruits because that will torture the cuts lmao. I'm surprised you never heard of it, it happens to a lot of people.

why wouldn't you just google it? I just did and already found creams you can use and home remedies.

Because there's so many different remedies to choose from and I'm pretty sure not all of them are accurate. I'd rather hear from actual people who have had these problems and figured out a way to heal them. Everyone says chapstick and water but that hasn't cut it for me.

I actually had these at one point. They just healed on their own, though. I do recall them being extremely painful ugh. Hope you find a good remedy.

If you say "my Angular cheilitis" as opposed to "this cut" irl, you're probably exerting your mouth more than necessary and you're probably doing that with a lot of things which has resulted in your battle wounds.

Other than that, a nice bit of Savlon/whatever antiseptic you have and a few days and you should be fine. Don't pick your wounds and don't exert your mouth so much!

Hot rice anyone? Or healing over time, that works too.

I GET THESE AND IT DRIVES ME NUTS

It was my understanding that they're from lack of nutrients/fatigue/dehydration, etc. Drink water, moisturize and take care of your skin and don't pick at them and they should go away.
