I have a soretred patch at the corner of my mouth, it doesn't feel like a cold sore but vaseline isn't helping.

Angular chelitis: If the ends of you lips overlap as you sleep, saliva may accumulate there. This will cause a rash or sore.Do you sleep on that side? A combination of a mild cortisone cram and an antifungal cream applied twice a day should help.If not, see a dermatologist.
