What do about a split cut in the corner of my mouth?

Angular chelitis: You can apply an otc triple antibiotic ointment or other skin protectant to the area. This problem is sometimes related to a b-vitamin or iron deficiency, so do consider those as underlying causes and speak to your doctor if you are concerned.
