Looking to naturally cure Angular chelitis (cuts in corners of mouth) for toddle

[Guest guest]

this is for a 3 yr. old, I have tried neosporin for a few days, then honey for a

one day, and all these treatments did was open it up more, and make it angrier

looking.

Now I am not doing anything, and it is somewhat better, but doesn't look like it

is going anywhere!

One site I read, said it is a fungal infection?

One friend said it is a vitamin b deficiency?

Anyone have this, or have remedied it with something??

Would appreciate advice

I am not sure, however my sis in law suggested Vit b 12 for it however you have

to get the kind that disolves under your tongue. My husband gets it too

especially in the winter.

I'm not familiar with Angular Chelitis itself, but have you tried coconut oil?

You might try mixing a drop or two of lavender oil into a tablespoon of oil and

applying a small amount of that.

 

I know how kids are about licking their faces, I'd be worried about using

anything not food-safe. The lavender won't taste as good as straight coconut,

but it shouldn't make him sick!

I've had success using castor oil for skin problems. Also if possible dab a

little baking soda on top of that..or mix the two together first and apply..

 

Anything fungus related I would use Tea Tree Oil but for a toddler, plus around

the mouth I wouldn't do it because of the smell..

I developed this condition as an allergic reaction to a new face soap. I was

told once I got it, it'd be forever come back. They were right. I'm not

overdoing Vit A, underdoing the B Vits, ok with iron, etc. Neosporin made it

worse. I have found a low dose cortosteriod cream once daily (or every other

day) and Aquaphor for chapstick has helped. Good luck!

If you will get some black strap molasses and start giving it to him

several times a day, you can heal that fast. I have healed mine up many

times with it. It is very good for this. Put it in milk and let him

drink it or try giving him a spoonful of it. A teaspoonful for a baby.

If he shows not liking it add a bit of Gramma's Molasses to sweeten a

bit. But gradually get him to like the Blackstrap plain. You will have a

healthy baby when you do.

My sister in law raised her babies on this in their cereal and she had

beautiful healthy babies too.

Black strap is high in minerals and very nutritious. I would also start

giving him some B complex vitamins in the liquid for this to help

prevent it recurring. It is a B deficiency. I have dealt with it myself

in the yrs past but no longer now.
