Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that you are having accumulation of excessive saliva at the corner of mouth, or you might be having angular cheilitis.
In case of excessive saliva accumulation you just have to take break in between long discussion.
In case of angular cheilitis you have to start with antifungal.
Better once you visit a dentist for examination.
Hope it will help you.
