Cheilosis? : The changes at the corners of your mouth may be from cheilosis. Your tongue changes may be from glossitis. These conditions are usually due to nutritional deficiencies, especially B vitamins & iron. Do you have a malabsorption illness, or chronic blood loss of some kind? Contact dermatitis can also cause cheilosis. See your clinician to help you sort it out. Hope that helps.
