Why do I have recurring angular cheilitis?

If you don't know what it is, it's when the corners of your mouth split. Typically people get it once and then it's done but I get it at least once every month or two. It developed on one side a few days ago and I woke up with it on the other side this morning. I have good general health, don't have any symptoms of a yeast infection, don't drool like a dog in my sleep, have normal teeth and good oral health. I don't know what to do

See a doctor?

Do you use mouth wash - i know someone who had braces and used a mouth wash that was too strong. Or it may be some kind of deficiency.

are you a vegetarian or a vegan ?

I do but I only started using it this year. This has been an ongoing issue for at least two years now. Also I don't have braces.

I've had a few bloot tests recently and my iron, ferratin, B12 etc levels are all normal.



Nope. Omnivore here.
