What's with the split mouth?

Question 1: What is the crack in the corners of the mouth? The dry climate makes many people feel tight lips and often lick their lips back and forth with their tongues. However, the more you lick it, the more dry it will be, and the corners of your mouth will peel, chapped and eroded, and even affect your speech. This is nutritional deficiency angular stomatitis, which usually occurs in spring. Vitamin B2 should be taken instead of "fire-fighting" drugs.

Many people think that the rotten corners of the mouth are caused by "getting angry", so they take various "fire-reducing" drugs for treatment, and the chapped corners of the mouth have never healed. Yang Dingquan, Deputy Chief Physician of Dermatology Department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital of Ministry of Health, pointed out that angular stomatitis is an inflammation of the skin and mucous membrane at the corners of the mouth, which is mainly manifested as wet and white corners of the mouth, easy to bleed when opening the mouth, and even forms ulcers in severe cases.

Mainly due to the lack of vitamin B2, iron and protein, manifested as repeated oral erosion, often affecting the corners of the mouth. If vitamin B2 is supplemented, such diseases can be cured in a short time. When taking it, it should be used according to the drug instructions, each time 1~2 tablets, three times a day. If you don't have vitamin B2 at home, you can also take multivitamins orally, but you need to get the doctor's consent before using them.

In addition to oral vitamin B2, vitamin B6 ointment and erythromycin ointment can also be used externally to accelerate the healing of angular stomatitis.

Question 2: What should I do if my mouth is rotten? Hello! Rotten mouth is called "angular stomatitis" in medicine, mostly because of the lack of vitamin B2 in the body. Due to different causes, angular stomatitis can be divided into nutritional angular stomatitis, bacterial angular stomatitis and fungal angular stomatitis, among which nutritional angular stomatitis is the most common. Therefore, the prevention of "rotten mouth" should start with the following points: pay attention to adjusting diet, and don't be partial to food ../kloc-0 10000.0000000000606 appropriately increase foods rich in B vitamins, such as bean products, eggs, lean meat, animal liver, etc., to prevent riboflavin deficiency. 2. Pay attention to the cleaning and moisturizing of the face. Wash your face and dry your mouth in time after meals. When the weather is cold and dry, you should always apply some moisturizing cream locally. When the lips are dry and peeling, you can apply anti-cracking oil, such as vaseline, cod liver oil or oily skin cream, but you must never apply glycerin, because glycerin is not oil, it has dehydration effect and will make the skin dry. 3. Develop the habit of drinking boiled water frequently, which helps to improve the moisturizing degree of the body and skin. If you wait for dry mouth before drinking water, it will lead to water shortage in your body. And correct the bad habit of licking the corners of your mouth often.

At the same time, vitamin B2 and vitamin C can be taken, and chlortetracycline ointment can be used externally.

Question 3: What is the crack in the corners of the mouth? Lack of vitamins or water? Cracking from the corners of the mouth is a phenomenon of vitamin deficiency.

Question 5: What causes vitamin deficiency, especially vitamin B2 deficiency?

Question 6: Is the corner of the mouth cracked by fire or something? There are many reasons for lip cracking. In addition to dry weather, lack of water in the body, excessive internal heat, and lack of vitamins in the body, blind hydration will also increase the burden on the kidneys. Lip bleeding is actually caused by angular stomatitis, commonly known as "rotten mouth", which is a common oral disease. Autumn and winter are the high incidence seasons of angular stomatitis. Keratitis is mainly caused by VB2 deficiency, and the patient's mouth is prone to bleeding, even eating and talking are affected.

When the patient comes on, the symptoms are: dry lips, erythema, edema, exudation and scab at the corners of the mouth. When it becomes chronic, the local mucosal skin is moist, chapped and rough, and radioactive wrinkles with outward angles appear. If it is caused by malnutrition, anemia and riboflavin deficiency, it may be accompanied by oral cavity, tongue and mucous membrane damage, such as tongue slippery, scrotal skin redness and corresponding systemic symptoms. Bilateral symmetry can also occur unilaterally. Consciously burning. In malnourished children, pustules may appear around the mouth, which are mostly related to pyogenic cocci infection.

Generally speaking, angular stomatitis can be divided into three categories: nutritional angular stomatitis, bacterial angular stomatitis and fungal angular stomatitis.

Malnutritional angular stomatitis often occurs in people with nutritional deficiency and vitamin B deficiency, and angular stomatitis caused by vitamin B deficiency is the most common.

Coccoid angular stomatitis is caused by streptococcus and staphylococcus infection, which is more common in elderly toothless patients. It is characterized by wet white, erosion or ulcer on both sides of the mouth, and it can also fester, bleed and scab. After local cleaning, the treatment should be coated with antibiotics (such as erythromycin ointment), and broad-spectrum antibiotics can be taken orally.

Fungal keratitis is caused by fungal (mainly Candida albicans) infection. It is characterized by wet and white corners of the mouth, erosion or ulcer, often accompanied by cheilitis and lip erosion. PAS staining showed candida hyphae. Treatment should be washed and dried locally with nystatin solution, and then applied locally with nystatin, clotrimazole and miconazole. Note that broad-spectrum antibiotics are not suitable for this disease.

Inducing factors of angular stomatitis

First of all, there is a lack of fresh vegetables and fruits. The decrease of vitamin intake from diet is easy to cause the deficiency of B vitamins in the body, leading to vitamin B deficiency angular stomatitis.

Second, the climate is dry. The cold and dry climate often chaps the skin and mucosa around the mouth, and the surrounding bacteria take advantage of it, causing infection and angular stomatitis.

Third, bad living habits promote angular stomatitis. In cold and dry autumn and winter, chapped lips make it easier to lick them with your tongue. In addition, bad living habits can easily lead to angular stomatitis.

"Emotional fluctuations can also cause angular stomatitis, and patients with endocrine disorders often suffer from angular stomatitis." Vice President Zhang said that there are still many causes of angular stomatitis. For example, in autumn, the air is dry and the lips are dry and uncomfortable. Some people often lick their lips with their tongues, but saliva will soon evaporate, and the result will become drier and drier, resulting in chapped lips and "rotten horns". Experts suggest that applying a little glycerin to dry lips can effectively prevent chapping.

Prevention and treatment of angular stomatitis and vitamin B supplementation

First, we should pay attention to a balanced diet and strengthen nutrition. Eat more foods rich in B vitamins, such as animal liver, lean meat, eggs, milk, bean products, carrots, fresh green leafy vegetables and so on. Not partial eclipse, not picky eaters.

The second is to protect facial skin, keep lips clean and sanitary, and wipe your mouth in time after meals.

Third, pay attention to prevent the loss of vitamins during cooking. Rice should not be washed too heavily. Vegetables should be washed first and then cut. After cutting, put it into the pot as soon as possible, and add vinegar when cooking.

If you have angular stomatitis, you can apply some grease or anti-cracking oil on it. You can take vitamin B2, 1-2 tablets three times a day, and apply ice boron powder or Yunnan Baiyao locally. If it has been eroded and inflamed, you can apply 1% gentian violet liquid to your mouth twice a day. After these simple treatments, most angular stomatitis can be cured quickly.
