Angular Cheilitis is mainly a skin disease provoked by the excessive moisture present in the crests, folds or wrinkles around the lips, especially from the corners of the mouth. This moisture digs into the skin causing cracks and lesions which later on become infected and form pus. From here on is just a vicious circle, in which the infection expands causing skin to crack even more, while these cracks provide more space for the infection to grow and develop faster.
When having to deal with such a condition most people rush into the dermatologist’s offices waiting for a treatment that will simply clear the entire area and leave the skin clean in just a matter of days. What they receive instead is a lotion or a cream based on antibiotic substances. This treatment should kill the bacteria and thus, leave the skin clean so as to start recovering from the damage. It is a slow process which in most cases, even if it does function bring too little relief for the desperate people.
This is mainly because the bacteria are quite smart organisms, smarter than you may have thought. Thus, when an antibiotic is used in order to destroy them, some of them die while other become much stronger and can no longer be defeated by the same antibiotic or by a substance similar to it. This is why, even though you find a powerful antibiotic which will provide relief the first time when Angular Cheilitis appears, the same treatment will be useless when the disease makes its appearance its second time. As you well know, in most cases this condition does appear a second time, so basically with antibiotics you can only have half of the problem solved or in other worlds postpone the search for an effective treatment a little longer.
Thus, if your dermatologist has prescribed you any antibiotics you can take them and hope for the best. If it is your first time taking them, they may actually work, but if you are at a second attempt, it is advisable to look for something more powerful or try some of the alternative or complementary treatments. You will be amazed to see how many effective treatments you can find outside the dermatologist’s office!

The human body is like a machine: it is made of many parts which assembled work together great and one part influence the way the entire ensemble functions. Yet, without one part the machine may broke down and not be able to work well ever again. This is why it is highly important to listen to what our body has to say very carefully and intervene when there is something wrong.
It is said that skin is the mirror of our body, thus if you see that there is something wrong with your skin, you should make a set of blood tests and see if there is something wrong inside or there is just an external issue. One of the best ways through which the skin shows us that the body lacks the vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs in order to function properly is through the well-known Angular Cheilitis, a skin condition which involves cracks in the corners of the mouth and along the lip lines, sores above the lips, pain when opening the mouth and sometimes itching when keeping it closed as well as sores and bleeding in extreme cases. This skin condition is mainly caused by excessive moisture and bacteria and/or fungi accumulated in the corners or the folds of the mouth.
Apart from the external factor, Angular Cheilitis has also an internal one which favors the rapid development of this skin condition. This factor is the low immune system. The vast majority of people who have to face this disease have been proved to have serious deficiencies of the complex of vitamin B, especially riboflavin (Vitamin B2), niacin (Vitamin B3) and pyridoxine (Vitamin B6). Iron and zinc deficiencies are also responsible for the apparition and evolution of Angular Cheilitis. Thus, if you see cracks around your mouth or you are already dealing with this condition you should make some blood tests and see which of these vitamins lack from your body. This will help you treat the condition faster and at the same time strengthen your immune system and prevent any other types of illnesses from invading your body.
Be aware of what your body has to say and act accordingly! Only this way will you be able to remain in good shape for a long time and prevent further illnesses from affecting you on the short and long run.

Hair is strong and can generally withstand normal grooming techniques. However, there can be thinning or breakage of hair due to poor grooming habits, and following several tips can prevent these bouts of thinning and breakage. Avoid combing hair with fine-toothed combs when wet, as this is a common cause of breakage. Although this is a tempting practice because hair straightens and de-tangles much better if combed when wet, the stress on the hair shaft is immense when the hair is wet because it is weakened.
This goes for brushing the hair when wet also. Brushing the hair in general can be stimulating to the scalp, encouraging blood flow to the hair follicles and maintaining their health. Brushing the hair before washing it can loosen up flakes of sebum and dead skin buildup and make it easier to thoroughly clean the scalp during shampooing. Remember, over combing or over brushing generally will cause damage to the hair, which is quite contrary to the old 100-stroke brushing rule.
In this day and age, the consumption of certain foods and substances should be regulated or avoided altogether. The body can be depleted of nutrients through the use of substances like nicotine and alcohol, and through foods containing caffeine and sugars. This can cause hair loss and raised androgen production due to an increase in adrenal levels.
Foods rich in cholesterol and saturated fats should be eaten in moderation, as they have been linked to spikes in DHT levels. Hair loss has even been connected to the ingestion of table salt. You should not put any additional salt on your food, as even a typical diet already provides the daily recommended sodium value.
Aside from those who regularly eat seafood, you should only use salt with Iodine in it if you are using it to season while cooking. Iodine is an essential nutrient associated with hair growth, and can be found naturally, and in high levels, in seafood.
On the downside, too much iodine can cause Toxemia, a toxicity of the body, which can be partially characterized by psoriasis, eczema, seborrhea, and other illnesses related to hair-loss. There are no remedies for healing a toxic body except to eliminate oneself of impurities through healthy dieting and cleansing your system.
Fibrous diets can be beneficial in the process of body cleansing, and the use of Psyllium Husk (a natural supplement which helps add bulk to waste) and laxatives can aid in this process. You can find more information regarding this subject by reading the section titled Natural Hair Loss Remedies.
Here are three things you must do to STOP your hair from falling out. I KNOW THESE SOUND TERRIBLY SIMPLE but they work and the medical community will not tell you this. You have to do the research on your own to find this out.
No conspiracy against you - just doctors do not study “natural” medicine. They concentrate their study on fixing symptoms of problems in the human body and try to keep up to date with the glut of medical information they need to know just to keep current in the medical field. They do not have time to look into every option for you – that is your job. I don’t need to knock doctors - they do amazing work. They cannot be expected to know everything about every health condition.
These steps below cost you almost nothing to do yet will start the process of STOPPING your hair loss. Expect some results in as little as a week or so – more drastic results in a couple weeks.
Key 1. Start Taking a Quality Multivitamin with Multimineral
I don't mean a Flintstones chewable, go to Whole Foods or another "health food" store and talk to someone who is passionate about natural health. Ask for the best multivitamin -multimineral for adults that easily absorbs into the body. Now take it EVERY DAY. You can experiment with cheaper brad names later; right now, you need to get the proper nutrients into your body to maintain proper functioning. You see, hair loss starts at the cellular level. If you don't have the proper nutrients in your body, noting will grow. The same with planting any seed in dirt that is depleted of nutrients and minerals - it has nothing to feed on.

Key 2. Drink the proper amount of Water Every Day
Studies show that adults should drink between 10 and 14 - 8oz. glasses of water every day. Again going back to the cellular level, for BASIC cellular functioning, cells must be properly hydrated. Professionals differ on exact calculations, but one formula is a half an ounce for every pound of body weight if you are not working out. Therefore, if you are 180 Lbs. that would be 11 - 8oz. glasses of water every day. Drink more water every day if you are active or in dry or extreme temperature climates. Drink distilled water or at the very least filtered water that REMOVES chlorine, lead, etc. and not just masks odor and taste like the common pitcher filters do. Disperse your drinking throughout the day don't binge before meals - just keep a simple Nalgene bottle next to you on your desk or near where you work. It has easy to read oz markers on the side to help you keep track. Again, think about the seed in the ground metaphor, how much would a seed grow with insufficient water?
Key 3. Stop the Caffeine
This one “hurt” me the most. However, I am so glad I did. I have NO FALL-OUT now. Caffeine is a diuretic, which makes you urinate out more liquid than you take in causing you to loose hydration. Drink a fruit beverage, milk or other non-caffeinated drink in its place if you need something with flavor. The best drink for you is purified water of course. Caffeine is also a toxin. That is right, one reason you get a burst of energy from drinking it is that your body speeds up to get it out of your system, one of the reasons it makes you urinate more. If you can't stop coffee cold turkey, go half caffeine and half decaf until you can go decaf, then to no coffee. Drink water. “But I need caffeine because I don’t get enough sleep” (we’ll cover that issue in the next step). Again, think of that seed in the ground and watering it with something that contains toxins.
