The corners of the mouth peel like ringworm

Peeling of the corners of the mouth like ringworm may be caused by perioral dermatitis, dry skin, or long-term lack of trace elements.

1. Perioral dermatitis. Licking your lips with your hands for a long time may cause bacterial infection in the lips, which may lead to perioral dermatitis, and also cause local itching, pain and desquamation symptoms.

2. Dry skin. If you do not take good care of your skin and it becomes dry or malnourished for a long time, it may cause peeling around the corners of your mouth, which will affect your overall image.

3. Lack of trace elements. Irregular diet may lead to a lack of trace elements in the body, which may affect the health of the body. It may also cause peeling or desquamation at the corners of the mouth, affecting the overall image of the area.

Peeling of the corners of the mouth is like ringworm and requires timely examination at the dermatology department. Then, based on the results of the examination, take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally or apply some erythromycin ointment under the guidance of the doctor. This can quickly relieve the symptoms. During the recovery period, try not to eat spicy or acidic foods to avoid irritation to the lips and worsen the peeling symptoms.
