Streptococcal hangnail (or streptococcal hangnail) is an infectious disease of the mucous membrane of the mouth and skin (in the folds of the lips).
It is caused by Staphylococcus aureus with a high degree of virulence and is resistant to antibiotics. This disease can be caused by the activation in the body of a pathogen that has already been ingested before. The main factors contributing to the spread of bacteria are humidity and frequent contact of the skin with the oral mucosa.
Symptoms of seizure Streptococcal seizures usually affect the lips on both sides. The disease develops very quickly. Cracks form on the lips, in which pus and saliva accumulate, especially during sleep. After some time, the cracks turn into wounds or sores. Things may not be so bad in the mouth. Most often, one inflamed area forms there, which can then spread to others.
