Re: I Need Help With Angular Cheilitis

I wanted to share what cured my AC, as I have been a sufferer for a long time (many many years of agony!). I, like many of you tried OTC creams, went to the doctor numerous times and got prescribed many creams, which did nothing for me. My cracks always appeared again.

I did some research like most of you and found that AC can be caused by many things. What caught my attention was one thing that can cause AC is having iron deficiency anemia. I then googled the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia and I had a good 5 of the symptoms, one of them being cracked corners of mouth. Fatigue is another as well as always being cold, with cold hands and feet.(Many women are prone to iron deficiency especially if they have gotten their period). With this information I then wanted to know what supplement I could take to get rid of my iron deficiency (which would then hopefully) cure my cracks in the corner of my mouth. I found great reviews for a liquid Iron supplement called Flordix Iron + Herbs.

When I intially bought the supplment I had cracks in the right corner. The bottle said to take the supplement twice a days on an empty stomach. The sales associate at the store said that I could mix it in with orange juice which actually helps the absorbtion of Iron (vitamin C). I would recommend taking it with OJ because the supplement is brown and have read some posts with people saying it discolored their teeth. The very next day my cracks had healed. I am still taking the supplement twice a day and I have had no more cracks!!!

*** I am not a doctor by any means, but it is worth testing to see if you are iron deficient. If you are not sure go to the doctor and get blood tests done.(espeically women who are suffering from this condition.
