Anyone else suffer from Angular Chelitis ? It's kind of like cold sores but it is a fungus, that develops in the creases on the side of your lips. For the past 4 months I have been dealing with, it comes and goes. I have done a lot of research on it just know but I wanted to see if anyone else suffered from it and if they have any tips!

Thank you so much, I am sick and tired of it and it makes me self conscious.

I had this for about 8 months a couple years ago. My PCP actually thought it was cold sores and gave me anti-viral meds and cream. Obviously that did not help...the angular chelitis eventually went away. I remember reading that it could be casued by zinc deficiency, but I never tried zinc supplements. If it's a fungus, can you use some type of anti-fungal cream? I hope it goes away soon!

I have anti fungal cream that I have been using for 4 months, it helps clear it up but doesn't get rid of it completely. I read it can be link to yeast, iron, or b12 deficiency or it can just be bacterial, but its hard to know which kind it is so I guess I'll try a little bit of everything. It's also related to having a suppressed immune system, since I'm on Humira, I don't know if its something that I will have to deal with the whole time I'm on it. I did take my shot of humira yesterday and it has cleared up someone so I don't know if that helps and also affects it.

Sorry I'm just rambling off everything, but it helps process it all.
Thanks for your response!

I had it years ago. Treated it with the anti-fungals cream the docs prescribed, but I had trouble getting it to go completely away. Then I switched toothpaste and mouthwash and it went away. I stay away from toothpaste with fluoride.
