Xihuangshuang spray has certain effects in treating angular cheilitis, but attention should be paid to its indications and usage.
1. Xihuangshuang spray contains multiple traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and has functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing swelling, and relieving pain. It can provide some relief for non-fungal angular cheilitis, especially mild symptoms caused by external factors.
2. When using Xihuangshuang spray, follow the guidance of a physician. Avoid self-purchasing and self-administration to prevent delays in diagnosis and treatment.
3. If angular cheilitis is caused by fungal infection, Xihuangshuang spray should not be used, as some of its ingredients may interact with the fungus, worsening the condition or causing adverse reactions.
Xihuangshuang spray may serve as an adjunct in treating angular cheilitis; however, its specific use should depend on the type of angular cheilitis and the physician's recommendation. If in doubt, please consult a relevant medical professional.
