How to quickly heal jams in the corners of your mouth

Small bubbles appear in the corners of the mouth? Do they hurt, interfere with talking and eating? Does burning and itching intensify on contact with salty or spicy foods? Symptoms indicate angular stomatitis, which is popularly called jamming. Bubbles burst due to constant mechanical action, turning into sores, and the corners of the lips swell and blush. The disease is treated with a drug and folk method, but first its cause is established.

Key factors

Patients with angular stomatitis are recommended to remember what they did before the appearance of nodules. Perhaps the habit became the reason for the jam:

• lick lips;
• eat unwashed vegetables or fruits;
• squeeze acne on or near the lips;
• use someone else's dishes or a toothbrush.

Inflammation and cracks in the corners of the mouth occur due to too large or poorly made dentures that regularly injure the mucous membrane and delicate skin. The situation will be corrected by going to a good dentist and observing hygiene requirements.

Sometimes angular stomatitis is just a symptom, indicating a more serious disease, such as:

• diabetes mellitus or liver pathology;
• caries and fungal infection in the oral cavity;
• anemia and impaired metabolism;
• vitamin deficiency or a weak immune system;
• HIV or hypovitaminosis;
• an overdose of antibiotics, hormones or antidepressants.

The diagnosis will be made only by the doctor, it is impossible to determine the cause and choose the right treatment. If you need to eliminate uncomfortable sensations and quickly remove inflammation, ointments with antiviral properties and natural folk remedies are recommended.

Alcohol and herbal decoctions

Bubbles and bleeding ulcers are cauterized by fucorcin. The raspberry-colored liquid disinfects open wounds and destroys the fungus. Antiseptics do not treat seizures located on the inside of the cheek.

Instead of fucorcin, Zelenka or iodine is used, which ulcers are lubricated 2–4 times a day. After using antiseptics, the skin around the mouth is moistened with vegetable oils or petroleum jelly, and hygienic lipstick is applied to the lips.

Ulcers are cauterized with three percent boric alcohol, and if the bubbles appeared due to Candida, a borax glycerin solution is recommended. Bleeding wounds cannot be treated with products containing fat or vegetable oil. They clog pores, slowing down the regeneration of the epithelium and healing. Inflammation intensifies, purulent discharge sometimes appears.

Bursting bubbles are washed with herbal decoctions with disinfecting properties. The composition of an antiseptic includes:

• bark of oak or viburnum;
• chamomile;
• calendula flowers;
• sage;
• succession;
• dried celandine.

Take one component or mix several. Pour 30 g of the workpiece with 250-300 ml of boiling water, put the container with the broth in a water bath. Keep in hot water for 20–25 minutes, and after cooling, strain and moisten a gauze swab in herbal tea. Wipe sores several times a day, and then treat with ointment or other antiseptic.

After eating, wounds of cotton soaked in thermal water are applied to the wounds. The product calms the burning sensation and washes out particles of products that have fallen into sores. Hold the compress for 5-10 minutes, rinse off any remaining water.

Ointments and masks made from natural ingredients

Vegetable oils and masks are applied to dried jam and cracks that no longer bleed. They moisturize the skin and accelerate wound healing.Ointments and other medicines are prepared only from those products with which you had to contact before. If you use unfamiliar ingredients, a weakened body can react negatively to new components, and an allergic reaction will begin.

Masks for angular stomatitis
Garlic has an antibacterial effect:

• Peel one or two cloves and crush.
• Grind garlic gruel with olive oil.
• Apply mask to jam, keep maximum 5 minutes.
• Wash off with warm, soapy water.

Olive-garlic mixture removes burning sensation and soothes itching.

Inflamed skin will be softened by a night mask consisting of honey and butter:

1. Melt the products in a water bath and mix in equal proportions.
2. When the components turn into a homogeneous mass, the workpiece is cooled to room temperature and applied to the cracks.
3. Do not rub, but simply lubricate the inflamed areas.
4. Apply at night and rinse in the morning.
5. In order not to stain the pillow and hair, the corners of the mouth treated with a mask are covered with a piece of gauze and the tissue is fixed with a plaster.

Honey disinfects wounds, preventing the growth of bacteria, and oil moisturizes overdried skin, soothing inflammation.

Apply to jam and a mask based on fresh apples:

1. Crush the fruits to make slurry.
2. Pour a little melted butter into the apple mass to make a thick homogeneous mixture.

Apply a mixture of oils with cotton swabs or tampons directly on the jam. Lubricate the skin around the lips with a nutrient, leave for 30-40 minutes or all night. Cover with a terry towel on top, then more oil is absorbed.

Vitamin compress and rinse
With angular stomatitis, it is recommended to rinse the oral cavity with tincture of oak bark: a teaspoon of the crushed component in 400 ml of cold boiled water. Means to insist at least 8 hours, apply 4-5 times a day.

Instead of oak bark, calamus root is used: 20 g of the crushed plant is brewed in a cup of boiling water. Strain after 20 minutes, rinse your mouth with the product three times a day.

After hygienic procedures, a vitamin compress is applied to the sores. You will need:
