The Angular Cheilitis Foundation was originally established by Orlando Ellis, an ordinary American who had spent years trying to help his son cure repeated outbreaks of painful angular cheilitis.
At 14, his son had the condition and began a frustrating 3 year journey to eradicate the problem.
Despite numerous doctor's visits and many different prescriptions for various creams and lotions, his son found the condition extremely painful and embarrassing and it simply would not go away.
His son's ongoing torment was the motivation he needed to thoroughly research the condition himself and he finally found a solution which he now shares through the Angular Cheilitis Foundation.
By researching the very nature of the condition and how it can be fungal in nature, he came across the following statement; "Fungal bacteria die quickly in dry environments" and it was this simple statement which led to him finding a simple cure made from economical everyday ingredients which everyone is likely to have at home.
After testing and refining his ideas, he formed what he felt was a foolproof formulation and tested this out on sufferers.
When he was sure that it worked, he then formed the Foundation with the aim of helping others avoid expensive and unnecessary prescription medication which never really seemed to help the condition permanently.
The basis of the treatment recommended by the Angular Cheilitis Foundation is to completely starve the affected areas of moisture and air.
The Foundation is not government backed and Orlando Ellis claims that he spends a proportion of the Foundation's income on advertising so he can let others know that such a simple solution exists.
