A member asked:

Will anti fungal cream work for my sores in the corner of my mouth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Use inside the mouth is not recommended. If you are referring to the corners of your lips (oral commissure), then that may be a condition called perleche. Antifungal creams such as lotrimin (clotrimazole) may help, but Lamisil (terbinafine) probably will not as it does not treat yeast very well.

It does not particularly hurt just red and a bit itchy. Its at the corners of the mouth more on the skin than on the lips. Cold sore and allergex cream does not work.
