Could the white patches at the corners of my mouth that I've had for two years be caused by a stomach problem, and are Metrogyl gel and Zytee the right medications to treat this?
Hello. I understand how frustrating it must be to deal with these persistent patches for two years. Yes, certain stomach or digestive issues can cause nutrient deficiencies (like B vitamins or iron), which sometimes lead to sores or patches at the corners of the mouth. Regarding your medications, Metrogyl gel (metronidazole) and Zytee (choline salicylate) are not the standard treatments for this. While Zytee can temporarily soothe discomfort, it won't cure the underlying cause, which is often fungal or nutritional. I highly recommend visiting a doctor or dermatologist so they can safely examine these patches and find the right targeted treatment for you.
