How Is Angular Cheilitis Treated?
Mild symptoms of angular cheilitis tend to subside on their own. The key is to keep your mouth hygienic and clean. But in more moderate or serious cases, some of the following treatments can help:
– Oral antifungal medications to treat a yeast infection
– Topical antifungal creams to reduce symptoms of a yeast infection
– Topical antiseptics to keep the affected area clean
– Lip ointment or balm to keep cracked, dry skin moisturized
– Topical steroid cream to alleviate inflammation [9]
