Signs and Symptoms of Angular Cheilitis
Unlike cold sores, angular cheilitis does not have defined stages. Many symptoms tend to appear in overlapped periods. The condition mostly affects the mouth’s corners, while cold sores typically happen beyond this area on the face, such as inside your nose, around or in the mouth, and on your lips. Typical signs of angular cheilitis include redness, crusting skin, dryness, skin cracks, painful blisters, or bleeding. Although this is a temporary condition, certain complications may happen if left untreated. [5]
