Is there a quick fix for dryness on the corners of my lips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Angular Cheilitis: First try petroleum jelly. If this does not help within a few days, you need to see your physician for a diagnosis and treatment. There are many causes of angular cheilitis including fungal infections, constantly licking your lips, collapsed bites, and vitamin deficiencies just to mention some of the most common.
