This articles discusses the condition known as angular cheilitis (often misspelled as angular chelitis) and the ineffectiveness of a commonly prescribed treatment. The reader is also briefly introduced to a safe and painless treatment of angular cheilitis. http://articalz.com/angular-chelitis-cure/angular-cheilitis-cure.html http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:34:19 +0500 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:33:56 +0500 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.2.9) http://www.feedforall.com Every year, millions of people suffer from angular cheilitis, also known as cheilosis or angular stomatitis or perleche, but often misspelled as angular chelitis. According to wikipedia, studies have indicated angular cheilitis to be a result of nutritional deficiencies (such as Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12 and iron) and occurs frequently with elderly people who experience a loss of vertical dimension due to loss of teeth, thus allowing for over-closure of the mouth. There is a lesser form of cheilosis that occurs mainly when the temperature is low (e.g. winter time) with young children and teenagers being the main sufferers. Typical symptoms experienced by angular cheilitis sufferers include the following: - Sores at both corners of the lips and mouth - Painful splits of the skin at the corner and inside of the mouth - Bleeding sometimes occurs when opening the mouth There is no connection between angular cheilitis and herpes / cold sores. While the legions are difficult to hide and sufferers will do anything to get rid of the embarrassment, cheilosis is not a life threatening condition. Having said this, a contagious oral fungal infection called Candida (also known as oral thrush) can develop inside the mouth of an angular cheilitis sufferer, characterised with a whitish coating on the tongue if the condition is not contained. Many cheilosis sufferers experience attacks a few times a year, each lasting months. The even more unfortunate ones suffer with the condition seemingly on a permanent basis. When consulted, doctors will typically prescribe a 1% hydro cortisone topical cream. This treatment unfortunately has proven to be ineffective and does little to ease the symptoms resulting in many angular cheilitis patients having to tolerate the painful condition. The good news is that there are treatment alternatives of which the majority of cheilosis sufferers are not aware of. Such treatment alternatives can be found simply by searching online using the different names that angular cheilitis is known as. For instance, there is a safe, simple and painless method that controls and kills the Candida bacteria merely by isolating this fungal bacteria and creating an environment they cannot survive in. This method is surprisingly inexpensive for an angular cheilitis sufferer and makes use of common household items. http://articalz.com/angular-chelitis-cure/angular-cheiltis-treatment.html B6609C8F-C00E-4880-AB42-F6E6D8AF089C Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:33:56 +0500 If you suffer from painful perleche attacks several times every year and are desperate for a cure or remedy, you are certainly not alone. There are millions of women and men who are similarly affected with many of them constantly seeking an effective angular cheilitis treatment. You yourself may possibly be exhibiting typical symptoms of this condition (other names include stomatitis or angular chelitis or cheilosis) that include painful splits of the skin and sores at the lips and mouth. Additionally, there may be bleeding when opening your mouth. Just like many perleche patients worldwide, you probably would have consulted a doctor for advice. Your doctor would likely have prescribed a 1% hydro cortisone topical cream, particularly if candida had developed inside your mouth. Since you are reading this article, there is a high likelihood that your doctor's prescription did little to alleviate your painful perleche conditions. If this is the case, you may want to look at three other angular cheilitis treatment methods. The first is to consider taking quality nutritional supplements. This is because cheilosis could be the result of deficiency in nutrients such as vitamin B1, vitamin B12 and iron. Secondly, if you rely on non-metal dentures, please be aware that these can be depositories for perleche infection if left alone. As such, one very simple preventative measure is soaking dentures overnight in a solution made up of 1 part household bleach to 10 parts water. Lastly, if your condition is one of "chapped lips", then use Vaseline (also known as petroleum jelly) or a protective lip balm. Please do not lick your lips at all as lip licking worsens the condition. This is because saliva evaporates quickly, leaving the lips drier than before licking them. The three angular cheilitis treatment approaches described had brought relief to some sufferers. If these do not work for you, please note that there are other lesser-known but effective stomatitis remedial options available online. As an example, there is a surprisingly low cost relief where common household items are used to help perleche sufferers. This angular cheilitis treatment method works by isolating and killing the problematic candida fungal bacteria. http://articalz.com/angular-chelitis-cure/angular-cheiltis-treatment.html 2510D0C6-AB23-4849-B1E9-0C2C775785F2 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:33:57 +0500 Angular Cheilits is a condition which can manifest itself in various forms: 1. Cracks and cuts and the corners of the lips and mouth. 2. Chapped lips and cuts on the lips. 3. Infected lesions on the corners of the mouth. 4. Infection within the mouth and a formation of a white crust on the tongue. Whatever symptoms you may have, all of them annoying and frustrating. They are often painful and are always unattractive. Unfortunately, conventional medicine has yet to come up with a complete solution to this problem. Some doctors prescribe cortison to help with Angular Cheilitis, but for many people it does not provide a true solution. That's where Angular Cheilitis home remedies come into play. These remedies are based entirely on ingredients found in each home, and though I can't review exactly what they contain within the confines of this article, I can direct you to 2 angular cheilitis home remedies which has worked for many people: 1. Angular Cheilitis Foundation - This remedy for it was developed by Orlando Ellis.

The Angular Cheilitis Foundation reports a success rate of 97%!, so you will most likely see results. 2.
