Can Surgery Improve Angular Chelitiis?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have had angular cheilitis for over 2 years. I have tied everything, but the small scars in both moth corners won’t heal. I was wondering if there are some surgeries you can perform to solve this problem permanently.

A:Excision of angular cheilitis can be an effective treatment for sure as it gets rid of the chronically infected tissues.
