If you suffer with Angular Cheilitis, without knowing it you are most likely scaring people.

People are afraid of what they don’t understand, and even if they did understand the underlying cause of the repugnant deep, crusty mouth corner cracks that always accompany Angular Cheilitis, just the idea of possibly catching the condition makes the average person avoid all contact with anyone afflicted with what we usually call cracked mouth corners.

The mouth corner splits are prone to reopen, bleed, and then crust over again and again. Bouts of a hideous Angular Cheilitis affliction can last literally years, and can over time turn the sufferers life into a life of misery both from the continuous pain and from the emotional and social repercussions.

Most uninformed people find the symptoms revolting, and also many people are afraid of being contaminated by close contact with the afflicted.
