I've had angular chelitis before, this time it feels like it's affected whole lips. very dry & tight with deep ridges along lips. some painful flaking?

Vitamin deficiency: It would be important to determine your diet as the symptoms you describe suggest vitamin B deficiency. Try taking B-complex vitamins or multivitamin available over the counter. If after taking that for a couple of weeks your symptoms have not gone away, please see your doctor.
