    Angular cheilitis is a common condition that causes redness, swelling, and cracks at the corners of the mouth. The best way to get rid of angular cheilitis depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, angular cheilitis may be caused by a bacterial or fungal infection, in which case treatment with topical or oral antifungal or antibacterial medications may be effective. In some cases, nutritional deficiencies, such as low levels of iron or vitamin B12, can also contribute to angular cheilitis, and dietary supplements or changes may be recommended. In other cases, angular cheilitis may be caused by dryness or irritation, in which case using a moisturizer or barrier cream on the affected area can help. It's also important to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly and avoiding irritants such as tobacco and alcohol. In severe cases, a healthcare provider may recommend additional treatments, such as steroid creams or oral steroids.
