Hi.
As per your case history your sister is probably having multivitamin deficiency, though the reports may be normal.
My treatment advice is -
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Apply a triamcinolone gel on angle of mouth.
3. Take multi vitamin supplements like supradyn and folimax-12 once daily for 3 months.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
