      Hello, my mother is 52 years old. She is suffering from angular stomatitis. Her symptoms include bleeding, blistered, cracked, crusty, itchy and painful corner inside her mouth. Please help me with your suggestion.

        @abhishikta The goal is to clear out the infection and keep the area dry so your skin isn't infected again. Your doctor will recommend an antifungal cream to treat fungal infections. Some are:
        nystatin (Mycostatin)
        ketoconazole (Extina)
        clotrimazole (Lotrimin)
        miconazole (Lotrimin AF, Micatin, Monistat Derm)
        If your infection is bacterial, your doctor will prescribe an antibacterial medication, such as:
        mupirocin (Bactroban)
        fusidic acid (Fucidin, Fucithalmic)
