Hi,

It may be angular cheilitis induced hypermelanosis. The cause might be folic acid deficiency. Candidal infection may be there.Kindly consult the expert dermatologist for the firm diagnosis.

I would suggest...

- tab folic acid 5 mg thrice a day for few few months
- apply mometasone cream with anti fungal cream
- anti fungal like fluconazole 300 mg once a week for few weeks
- take green leafy vegetable

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
