Typically, Angular Chelitis is an infection of both sides of the corner of the mouth. The cracks or splits look a little like paper cuts but get inflamed and red, with a whitish hue. This is a fungal infection, left unchecked it can often lead to a fully blown infection of the mouth. Candida or oral thrush is contagious and the tongue develops a whitish hue.

Millions of Americans suffer from this condition every year. Typically an attack persists 3 or 3 times a year, with some sufferers tolerating the condition on an almost semi permanent basis. Angular Chelitis is not life threatening and it is not contagious. It is however an insidious condition, that is painful and very unattractive.

The legions being right on the face, they are difficult to conceal even with make up because of the crustiness of the corners of the mouth. Angular Chelitis has been traced back to a vitamin deficiency particularly iron which can be found plentiful in lean red meat. However, sufferers report they can have an attack around the beginning of winter or during a cold snap. This points to the fact that the bacteria lay dormant even when the symptoms of the cracked corners of the mouth are not present. The immune system becoming weakened because the person failed to keep warm...the bacteria get a chance to flair up.

This condition is difficult to cure or control for that matter. Most people, with Angular Chelitis would do anything to be rid of the affliction.
