Has anyone experienced irritations on their face and the corners of their mouth? I am suspect of everything due to the nature of CD.

Thanks for any help

Best!

I totally had irritations on the corners of my mouth. It was almost like chapped lips..but not neccesarily on the lips..more of the corners. My dentist was actually the one whole informed me that it was a vitamin B deficiency, which is totally related to CD. Start taking more vitamin B!

I was treated with fluconazole twice for these. The first pill didn't do it. They were not fun
