Has the skin around your mouth been causing you a lot of pain lately? Have you looked in the mirror only to see red cracked skin?

If you know you are suffering from this common skin condition, keep reading. In order to treat angular stomatitis you will need to follow these remedies for itchy skin.

Get back that clear beautiful skin you want. Angular stomatitis is something you do not want to leave alone. Just because you have had dry skin elsewhere on your body and feel it will go away just as easily, think again. That dry skin around your mouth is not the same as the dry skin you see on your hands or feet. If you think you can get rid of that dry itchy skin by applying creams or moisturizers, think twice. You do not want to start applying large amounts of cream to the area around your mouth. If you do it could lead to further problems and even more irritation. So stay away from creams for time being and instead applying something such as honey or cucumber juice.

Honey and cucumber juice contain certain ingredients that will help keep the skin around the mouth and lips free from dry skin. What you need to do is apply a generous amount around the affected area. Let either one absorb into the skin naturally. Do not feel forced to rub it in. Apply the honey or cucumber juice directly onto the skin and leave it. Let your skin absorb it on its own and that angular stomatitis will disappear in no time.

It is important you avoid letting any type of moisture settle around the sides of your mouth. That is how angular stomatitis starts in the first place. So if you want to get rid of it for good, keep the skin around your mouth and lips dry. Do what you can to dry the skin as often as you can. This means after you shower, bath, drink and eat. Keeping that skin free from excessive moisture contact will help it heal faster and prevent any further skin problems from forming. So take control over your skin and get rid of that dryness for good.
