Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

It was called Biotene though. Maybe they've changed it, I don't know. This was number of years ago I must admit and I saw that on the label and tossed it.

As for the cracking at the corners of the mouth, that is called angular chelitis.

I've tried many things to be rid of it and finally found the "cure" so to speak after fighting this crap for about 3 years now -- an accidental "find" so to speak.

It is a white cream called ciclopirox olamine cream .77%. Apply at night around the corners of the mouth and around the top edges of the lips after cleaning your mouth very good before bedtime. It will go away in a few days but you must stay on it as been my experience. It is a difficult problem to get rid of once it gets going and begins to crack open and spread with these flakes coming off around your lips. Glad I found something that gets rid of it; in my case it is a fungus.

It can also be due to a vitamin B deficiency. Tried that too with no luck. It can be of bacterial origin as well so the dentist recommended Neosporin which did not good at all.

Best of luck in any event with the Biotene. Will ask about it next time I go to the dentist to see if thing have changed re: this product.

Thanks for the info.!
