Cuts on corner of mouth, irritation below lower lip. Taken Desonide for eyelid dryness
Patient: i believe i have angular Cheilitis. I have had cuts on the corner of my mouth and irritation below my lower lip for over 3 weeks now. Difficult for them to heal because i open my mouth a lot to eat. what can i do? i was given desonide for 0.05 for eyelid dryness about 8 months ago. I still have some, should I apply some of that? Doctor: Hi, No, I would not recommend use desonide. Instead, do mouth swab culture testing for candida infection, a complete blood profile for anemia. Until the test results are in, can use a thin layer of butter or olive oil and honey. Drink plenty of water and take good hygiene of your mouth.Hope it helped!Dr.Bardha
