What is this?!

[littlem133]

I get these cuts in the corner of mouth-usually over the winter. I can usually get rid of them fairly swiftly but this one just isn't shifting. I've tried vasceline, nappy rash barrier cream and now the chemist told me to try blisteez but nothing's working. Any idea please?!

Pic!

Take a multi vitamin, and b12. I had the same and nothing touched it until I took vits

How about Daktarin?

B12 could be a possibility. I tick a few of the symptom boxes. Never heard of that other cream!

I have b12 injections every 12 weeks for B12 deficiency and this was one of the symptoms I suffered before diagnosis.

It could be a fungal infection, which Nystatin cream would quickly clear up. What does your GP say about it?

Haven't been to the gp. It'll be weeks before I get an appt

Cymex cream would help

Go to see a pharmacist. They are pretty good.
Is it a cold sore?

Angular stomatitis?

Caused by chronic iron deficiency aneamia. I have them and they can get very sore at times.

Fucidin cream helps me

It’s probably a B12 deficiency. I get those every now and again, I just take some B12 or a multi vit and it tends to go away in a few days

A good multivitamin and iron supplement, a vitamin B supplement and try acyclovir until you get to see a GP.

If I get any cuts or sores around my mouth, I always treat it like a cold sore.

Angular cheilitis. Do you wear a denture or braces? Vit B is very useful. Marmite usually cures mine!

I get these.

It's just 'cold' in your lip with the changing of the seasons.

You're welcome for the scientific explanation

Thanks everyone. Just got myself some vit b and iron tablets. Should I book an appointment at my GPS or dentists? I'm a bridesmaid in 4 weeks I don't wear dentures or braces.

It should clear up within a week. How long have you had it for?

This time just over two weeks

I'm pretty sure it's angular chellitis as I've had it quite a bit in the last few years. Mine seem to be sparked by taking antibiotics and I used fucidin cream to clear it up. It hurts though and it's so annoying

Thank you everyone. It's super sore this evening. Are any anti fungal creams (nystatin (Mycostatin)
ketoconazole (Extina)
clotrimazole (Lotrimin)
miconazole (Lotrimin AF, Micatin, Monistat Derm))
over the counter or will I need to wait (weeks) for a Docs appt?

I find that the daktarin oral gel relieves it, though I haven't had one for a while

Is the appearance of your tongue altered at all?
