Can dermal fillers help with angular cheilitis? (photo)

Angular cheilitis is usually due to a fungal condition that involves the corners of the mouth. Sometimes it is also due to a vitamin deficiency. Your photos reveal a full lip appearance, and adding filler would not help with your medical condition. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Unfortunately the filler will not have an effect on this condition. Sometimes the caus is lack of iron and folic acid so you may check your full blood count

angular cheilitis can be in the irritating condition. I’ve had it a few times but luckily it is only temporary for me.
I’m not convinced that fillers can I buy condition better. The dermatologist I spoke to recommended every other day alternating between antifungal and mild anti steroid cream.
For long-term use it’s very important to use the appropriate strength of anti-inflammatory steroids if you use those.
It is considered a fungal condition.
Appropriate amount of sunlight and fresh air could potentially be helpful but it is an anatomically awkward spot that tends to be moist with skin on skin contact.
Hope it gets better for you

Hi there,

We have had patients do filler in that area and it has definitely helped some patients.
I think having a consult with your physician regarding this procedure would be ideal.

Best of luck!
