    Angular Cheilitis, also known as Perleche, is an inflammatory condition characterized by redness, swelling, and painful cracks at the corners of the mouth. It can be caused by factors such as fungal or bacterial infections, nutritional deficiencies (like iron or vitamin B), or excessive moisture from saliva. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and may include topical antifungal or antibacterial medications.
