They called...

Does anyone know how to get rid of angular cheilitis? It’s that annoying crap that cracks at the corners of your mouth.
I'm looking for some home remedy suggestions...
Don't bother suggesting specific brand-name meds since I'm living in the States and you guys probably won't know what works here (unless you can tell me the actual active ingredient).

thanks

Old wives' remedy: ear ointment

For all you guys who are constantly cleaning out your ears and living in them—try chloramphenicol (I think I spelled that right!)

I don't know, personally, whenever that happens to me, I tend to go heavy on the lip balm or something similar—just so it doesn't feel so tight and dry. It’s basically just a cracked lip, right? I guess I’d probably dab a little bit of honey or some antiseptic ointment on there too, just to be safe so nothing gets infected.
Luckily, at least this stays quiet for a while, unlike my situation with cold sores lately... which have been a total nightmare...

Thanks everyone

People often reach out because they’re dealing with a zinc deficiency, which is actually the second most vital element our bodies need. It’s particularly crucial for men since it plays such a massive role in testosterone production, making it incredibly important for prostate health as well—in fact, a lack of it can even lead to issues with impotence. So, I'd suggest looking into getting some more zinc, though you really shouldn't exceed about 50mg of daily intake, and you definitely shouldn't stay on supplements for too long at a time. Honestly, it's probably best to just sit down and consult with your doctor about the right dosage first.

Honestly, if you ask me, Candida is the biggest culprit behind all those boils, even if they won't tell you that straight up 😉

Just a little bit of Nystatin or some other antifungal should clear it right up, I guess.
