Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
It seems you have got Angular cheitis, kind of an inflammation of corners of lips.
I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper management.
Usually, i recommend oral multivitamins esp containing vitamin B3 along with local application of hydrocortisone cream and fusidic acid cream.
Apply good emolient like emolene cream to take care of dryness.
Drink plenty of water and have balanced diet.
Avoid using harsh toothpaste and cosmetics.
Hope this will take care of your issue
Thank you
