Angular Cheilitis

Angular cheilitis is that pesky, painful cracking and soreness that develops at the corners of the mouth in some small children, usually related to slobbering and pacifier use. It is caused by yeast (Candida) infection, and responds to topical nystatin. You can dab the oral suspension on the sores about four times a day.
