What Is Angular Cheilitis?

Angular cheilitis is a medical condition that causes red, inflamed patches on any or both the corners of your mouth where your upper and lower lips meet.

It is also referred to as perleche and angular stomatitis.

A study conducted on 2426 participants with Sjogren syndrome (an autoimmune disorder characterized by dry mouth) found that the prevalence of angular cheilitis ranged from 2% to 81%, with the largest population reporting frequency of 20-40%. Additionally, a dry mouth caused by Sjogren syndrome, radiation treatment, certain medications, and vitamin A toxicity caused by overconsumption is said to be responsible for 5% of all cases of angular cheilitis.

Dr. Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD, says, “Angular cheilitis usually isn’t serious. The condition often goes away about two weeks after starting treatment. Severe angular cheilitis can result in scarring or weak, thin skin if it isn’t treated. Also, it can come back after treatment.”

Angular cheilitis usually progresses in four stages – and they are discussed below.

Stages And Symptoms Of Angular Cheilitis

The four stages and the associated symptoms of angular cheilitis are:

Stage 1 – Minor Angular Cheilitis

In the first stage of angular cheilitis, you will notice:

  • Slight flakiness in the corners of your mouth
  • A tightness in the corners of your mouth that is accompanied by discomfort when you try and open your mouth

Stage 2 – Mild Angular Cheilitis

You may observe redness on the corners of your mouth and a slight increase in the discomfort.

Stage 3 – Severe Angular Cheilitis

Even simple activities like opening your mouth in any way become painful. Other symptoms of Stage 3 include the appearance of evident lesionsi  An abnormal growth or change in the appearance of the skin due to clogged follicles, acne, or due to some kind of trauma to the skin. and soreness at the corners of your mouth. Treatments become ineffective in stage 3 of angular cheilitis.

Stage 4 – Chronic Angular Cheilitis

Once angular cheilitis becomes chronic, you will notice it disappearing and reappearing frequently. The skin around the corners of your lips may:

  • Become dry
  • Crack or fissures
  • Pain

If you are wondering what causes this troublesome ailment, scroll down to find out.

Causes And Risk Factors For Angular Cheilitis

There is always a probability for saliva to get trapped in the corners of your lips and build up. When it dries, the skin in that area is at risk of cracking. As a reflex, you may lick your lips to soothe the irritation. Repetitive exposure to saliva can cause an accumulation of moisture and warmth in the corners of your mouth, creating the perfect condition for fungal growth and infections.

As this condition is not infectious, it is completely safe to kiss. But, Dr. Angela Casey, Board-Certified Dermatologist, cautions, “Kissing may exacerbate symptoms as the increased saliva and friction around the mouth can feed into the inflammation and skin cracking that is seen in angular cheilitis.”

The major cause of angular cheilitis is a fungal infection caused by Candida fungus. Certain bacteria strains can also cause this infection.

In case your doctor is unable to detect the cause of your condition, the infection is referred to as idiopathic angular cheilitis.

There are also some factors that can increase your risk of developing angular cheilitis. They are:

  • Having braces
  • Wearing dentures
  • Licking your lips often
  • Having crooked teeth
  • Sagging skin around your mouth from aging or weight loss
  • Sucking your thumb
  • Smoking
  • Eczema on the lips or lip dermatitis

Angular cheilitis may also occur due to systemic disorders like diabetes, immune deficiency diseases, and conditions that affect saliva production (20).

In addition to these, nutritional deficiencies may also cause angular cheilitis. The following section explains how they are related to this condition.

Do Nutritional Deficiencies Cause Angular Cheilitis?

  • Angular cheilitis is often associated with a deficiency in riboflavin (vitamin B2) (1). Riboflavin is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the skin. Lack of this vitamin may lead to painful cracking and inflammation at the corners of the mouth.
  • Anecdotal evidence suggests that niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency, which may occur due to genetic disorders, may also cause skin problems.
  • Anemia is often caused by iron deficiency and may lead to dry, cracked skin (1).
  • A deficiency in zinc can hinder the skin’s ability to heal. Due to this, treatment for conditions such as angular cheilitis often includes supplements to address the deficiency (2).

Understanding the role of nutritional deficiencies is crucial, as these underlying issues often contribute to the development of angular cheilitis, which can then be confirmed through a thorough diagnosis. Scroll down to learn more.

Diagnosis Of Angular Cheilitis

Angular cheilitis is diagnosed primarily through visual examination of inflamed, cracked corners of the mouth. A healthcare provider checks for any crusting, redness, and swelling and reviews the patient’s medical history for any relevant conditions like diabetes, malnutrition, or recent dental procedures. Microbial testing may be used in some situations to detect bacterial or fungal illnesses.

Most often, people get confused between angular cheilitis and a cold sore. To put your confusion to rest, the following section reveals a few major differences between the two.

Angular Cheilitis Vs. Cold Sore

Angular Cheilitis

  • They are often caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
  • They occur in tiny clusters.
  • These sores may also cause other symptoms like fever, headache, or swollen lymph nodes.
  • They can occur anywhere around your mouth.
