Medical Conditions - Angular Cheilitis

It is a condition in which there is the formation of red and swollen patches on the lips and the angle of the lips. It occurs due to the accumulation of saliva at the corners, which then gets dried and causes angular cheilitis. There is the formation of blisters, bleeding, redness, and swelling.
