Bites in the corners of the mouth not only spoil the appearance, but also hurt, and therefore the issue of their appearance and treatment is relevant not only for children, but also for adults. There are people who very rarely encounter such a disease or do not encounter at all, but there are those who suffer from seizures with enviable consistency.
General information about the disease
"Zayed" is a popular name, in medicine it is called angulitis, angular stomatitis. It is believed that the corners of the mouth become inflamed by certain bacteria or fungi. Contributes to the development of vitamin B2 deficiency. Often seizures are observed in people suffering from diabetes mellitus, as well as a decreasing bite due to the fact that it forms rather deep folds of skin at the corners of the mouth.
In children, streptococcal seizure is more common, caused by the corresponding microbe. First, a bubble appears, which quickly bursts and turns into an erosive area, which from time to time becomes covered with a purulent and bloody crust. It hurts to open the mouth. But there is also a candida seizure caused by a yeast-like fungus. With her, a red erosion with a slight whitish bloom forms in the corner of the lips.
The seizure is often chronic, it is exacerbated by some external factors. Doctors do not exclude the neurogenic nature of exacerbations of the disease.
How to distinguish psychosomatic irritation?
When a slit-like crack appears in the corner of the mouth, which does not resemble either a fungal or a bacterial infection, in the absence of laboratory confirmation of the presence of fungi and bacteria, doctors say that angulitis has developed on a nerve basis. And there is also reason to assert that the nervous factor affects the decrease in immunity, due to which it becomes possible to become infected with a fungus or streptococcus.
It is possible to suspect a psychosomatic seizure when it has a chronic course, appears often, sometimes has a clear connection between certain events and the appearance of angulitis in the corners of the mouth, as well as in the event that the prescribed treatment does not give the desired effect.
In this case, psychosomatics (a field of knowledge at the intersection of psychology and medicine) will help answer the question of what stresses, psychological experiences, emotions and mental behaviors cause unpleasant painful cracks.
Causes
In some cases, psychoanalysis of diseases provides for an almost literal interpretation of ailments. This is the case with angulitis. Seizures in psychosomatics are regarded as cracks in the mouth along the edges, the mouth cannot withstand stretching.
In metaphysics, the mouth and lips are given a special meaning - they are responsible for consumption and appropriation. The mouth stretches beautifully, changes shape, adapts to circumstances, but if they try to fit into it something that is clearly not in size, it can break.
Thus, the main psychosomatic reason for seizure is the desire to possess what he cannot digest in principle, that is, the discrepancy between desire and capabilities. This is not only about food, everything is simple with it - a person has learned how to grind, cook and put in small pieces in his mouth. We are talking about life situations, problems, circumstances. I saw an expensive car and really wanted to have it, but did not take into account that there would be nothing to maintain such a car - as a result, a jam appeared.
Psychotherapists see in frequent binges a manifestation of human greed, the desire to have everything and more, with a complete inability to measure the desired and one's capabilities. This often happens in people who have high ambitions and aspirations, as a result of which they gain so many responsibilities and tasks that they cannot cope with them purely physically. As a result, the corner of the mouth breaks.
In Russia, they used to say about angulite that it develops in those who "do not eat with their own spoon." There is a grain of truth in this proverb - seizures often torment those who covet someone else's. It's not only about someone else's property, property, money, it's about someone else's life, someone else's principles, events, opinions. If you have the ability to take them for your own, without measuring your capabilities, then digest them and use them with benefit, it will be quite difficult to get rid of angulite.
Psychotherapists made a psychological portrait of patients with angulitis without difficulty: this is not only a greedy or stingy person, but also an envious type who likes something already because it does not belong to him, but to someone else. Very often, it is because of the physiological envy, to which almost all children at a certain age are prone, that angulitis appears in babies. Someone else's toy always seems more interesting, bright and good than your own.
People with chronic seizure rarely know how to be content with what they have. Usually, having received something, they "open their mouths" to a new goal and cease to rejoice at the recent acquisition.
The danger
From the point of view of psychosomatics, seizures, the psychological causes of which are not eliminated, are quite dangerous. If a person is not going to change anything in his envious consumer worldview, then soon he will feel other psychosomatic disorders - heartburn will appear, the acidity of gastric juice will increase, an ulcer may begin. To prevent this, it is important, already at the stage of angulitis, in the corners of the mouth to recognize the signals of the body and prevent more serious consequences.
Treatment
Treating seizures is not as difficult as it sounds. It is important to admit your mistakes and stop being jealous of others - you find the charm in what you have, more often say thank you to yourself and to fate for having it. Not everything else is right for you. Much can be harmful. And also you need to learn to measure your desires and capabilities.
If angulitis torments a child, you should not try to give him more and more toys or gadgets, hoping to satisfy his thirst for a new one, from which lips dry and cracks form in the corners of the mouth. It is necessary to honestly tell the child that it is impossible to acquire everything you want.
