Doctor Alexander Ediger said that jams can occur as an external symptom of severe disorders in the body.
They talk about jams when painful pain appears in the corners of the lips inflammatory areas with cracks and wounds. According to doctor Alexander Ediger, sometimes such jams appear in connection with serious illnesses.
“Balls or angular cheilitis can appear either due to reasons related to the oral cavity, or due to system-wide problems of the body,” said the doctor.
What does system-wide problems mean? For example, this is existing diabetes or problems with the adrenal glands, anemia, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, decreased immunity.
“Eating is primarily a marker of immunodeficiency, candidiasis and quite severe endocrine diseases,” the doctor stated.
Ediger added that it's not just serious problems that can cause a lump to appear, and if it heals quickly, there's no need to worry. Prolonged inflammation or frequent wounds in the corners of the mouth are a reason to consult a doctor and get examined. The doctor clarified that in case of seizures that do not heal for more than a week, it would be more correct to consult a specialist, since this may indicate a significant weakening of the immune system for some reason or an infection has occurred, the Public News Service reported about this.
