The corners of mouth are red and itchy

The moisture level of the lips will greatly enhance one's appearance. Some people have relatively moist lips and very few lip lines, but some people have chapped lips and red and itchy corners of their mouths. This situation is caused by the dry external environment and severe lack of water in the body, so in daily life you should drink more water, eat some fruits and vegetables that supplement vitamins, and don't lick your lips with your tongue. Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

1. Peeling at the corners of the mouth is mostly caused by the dry external environment and lack of water inside the body . Especially in winter, people's body water needs are no less than in the hot summer, so people cannot ignore hydration in winter. The basic eight glasses of water a day are indispensable. When the peeling at the corners of the mouth is more serious, you should also pay attention to supplementing vitamin C. Vitamin C can relieve the symptoms of peeling, so eat more fruits rich in VC, such as tomatoes, apples, etc.

2. Causes of chapped lips

Lack of water

It may be because you have not had drinking water for a long time, causing your mouth to become dry and cracked. Then you need to replenish water in time to ensure at least the amount of water required by the human body every day.

Air Drying

Dry air may also cause chapped lips and dead skin, so you can carry lipstick with you when you go out and apply it in time.

Allergy-induced cheilitis

We seldom hear about cheilitis in our daily life, but that does not mean that this disease does not exist. Some people have weak constitutions and are prone to allergies, which leads to the occurrence of cheilitis.

Heat accumulation in spleen and stomach

The most important factor causing chapped lips is the accumulation of heat in the spleen and stomach. The spleen opens up at the mouth, and its beauty is on the lips. When there is heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach and a deficiency of essence, blood, and body fluids, the lips will become dry and flaky. It is recommended not to overeat fatty and greasy foods, but to pay attention to a light diet and eat less spicy and irritating foods; also pay attention to a regular life; participate in more outdoor sports to improve the spleen and stomach function.

Vitamin deficiency

If the corners of your mouth start to become dry and cracked and there is white secretion at the corners of your mouth, it is a sign of vitamin deficiency. You should pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits, avoid picky eating, and you can also take vitamin pills appropriately.

3. What to do if the corners of your mouth are dry, red, and itchy

This consideration is related to the season and physical condition. It may be caused by dry weather and skin allergies, and not paying attention to drinking water. It is recommended to drink more water and use some glycerin skin care products.

Of course, cheilitis is not ruled out. Angular cheilitis is commonly known as "rotten mouth corners", which is manifested by redness, blisters, cracks, erosions, scabs, and desquamation at the corners of the mouth. Patients are prone to bleeding when opening their mouths, and even eating and talking are affected. The triggering factor of angular cheilitis is the cold and dry climate, which will cause the skin and mucous membranes around the lips and corners of the mouth to dry and crack, and the surrounding bacteria will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and cause infection, causing angular cheilitis;

Guidance:

Treatment: Vitamin B2 should be given, and vitamin B complex should be given at the same time, 3 times a day, 1-2 tablets each time, because when B2 is deficient, niacin and B6 are often also deficient. The corners of the mouth can be smeared with gentian violet to keep them clean. If the distance between the mouth and the mouth is too short, orthopedic repair is required.
