Greetings. Plz note the following
1. see a qualified dermatologist near you- for examination and evaluation of cause of angular chelitis.
2. could be related to any irritant allergy / vitamin deficiency/ candidal infection - thus may need treatment according to the cause
3. use bioline jelly regularly / do not keep licking your lips with your tongue.
Hope this helps.

Angular cheilitis is a common inflammatory condition affecting the corners of the mouth.
Apply Lip balm or coconut oil ointment frequently. If you have deficiency then you may require Nutritional supplements.
