Article 6 - Is Angular Cheilitis Contagious - What Is The Truth?
If you suffer from
Angular Cheilitis or know of someone who does, you must be wondering if
Angular Cheilitis is contagious. It's a common question and it revolves
around some of the misconceptions about this affliction. Some of the
other myths revolve around the false notion that Angular Cheilitis
(also known as Perleche) has something to do with herpes or cold sores.
It does not.
Let me start by answering your question in a direct
way: No! Angular Cheilitis (which is often misspelled as Angular
Chelitis) isn't contagious at all. But for all intents and purposes it
might be, because the effects of having this affliction on a person's
social life are similar to those he or she would have endured had this
person been suffering from a contagious disease.
I mean, do
you know of many people who would kiss a person which lesions on his
lips or cracks on the corners of his or her mouth? This isn't
contagious, but it's highly unattractive and drives people away.
That's why those who
suffer from Angular Cheilitis are so frustrated with conventional
medicine's failure to come up with a solution for this problem. Most
people who go to a doctor are often prescribed 1% hydro cortisone
topical cream, but this is often unhelpful.
Fortunately, alternative
and home medicine have provided some remarkable Angular Cheilitis
treatments. These home remedies revolve around using common home
ingredients which help to dry up the lesions and clear away whatever
infection or puss which may have accumulated there.
It's just another situation in which alternative medicine fills in the void created by conventional medicine.
