What Causes Cracking In Mouth Where Lips Meet And Sore Jaw?
I noticed the other day the right side of my jaw was sore, but it only hurts when I touch it
And it feels lumpy. Also the side of my mouth where my lips meet keeps cracking. The cracking goes away and then comes back and Looks open and crusty. I was wondering if the cut caused an infection which is why my jaw is sore? Also I felt the back of my mouth where the jaw pain is and it hurts worse. Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
This could be due to vitamin deficiency, allergies.
I would suggest you to take multivitamin suplements.
Take plenty of oral fluids rich in vitamin C like lemons, oranges.
Apply moisturiser over the lips externally.
Get a checkup done by the Dentist.
Take care!
