5. Many people with some sort of a facial blemish
or mark have problems with self-confidence,
and those suffering from Angular Cheilitis are
no exception. The fact is that the painful sores
and crusts caused by this skin disease are
awfully visible, they are almost a sort of a
magnet for peoples looks. On occasion this
problem can become so severe that it
becomes a social problem, many people
diagnosed with Cheilosis as this skin problem
is also called, tend to shy away and avoid
contact with other people.
6. Naturally the first step in getting rid of this
problem is to be sure that you are really
suffering from Cheilitis and the only way to do
this is to have your doctor establish the right
diagnose. So far so good, however my
experience is that at this point your doctor will
prescribe some sort of corticosteroid based
cream and you will go home believing your
problem to be solved.
7. Unfortunately most often this is far from the
end of your Perleche problems, you see these
treatments besides causing tons of nasty side
effects only work temporarily, meaning as
soon as you stop using them your Cheilitis
problems will return. What is more these
creams, ointments and pills are often
expensive and you can expect to spend
several hundreds of dollars each year buying
them.
8. So what is the alternative? Fortunately there
are several natural remedies you can use to
not only treat Angular Cheilitis naturally but
also for less cost. One important note here: do
not treat this problem with lip balms or
ointments used to treat cold sores. You see
the main culprit behind this skin sickness are
bacteria and fungi and additional moisture is
precisely what they need to grow even more
causing more severe problems. So once again
– no lip balms.
9. Actually what you need to do is try to keep the
lips area as dry as possible, if you can even
refrain from licking your lips. Next take a good
look at your diet, people with diet lacking Iron
and Vitamin B have a much higher chance of
becoming ill with Cheilosis, the easiest way to
deal with this is to add vitamin/mineral
supplements to your diet but the better way is
to pay more attention to what you eat.
10. Improving your diet could be one of the most
important things you can do to eliminate
Cheilitis, for example instead of Iron
supplements add some more meat to your
diet, especially liver – its chocked full of Iron.
And for the Vitamin B just include more fish
(seefood in general is very good for you) and
some leafy green vegetables, besides giving
your body fuel necessary to fight Angular
Cheilitis you’ll be providing tons of other
essential nutrients needed for good health.
