The sides of my mouth split open and hurt. what will make this stop?

Split corners on lip: Hi the cause of this is often a fungal infection and with a few days of anti-fungal medicine you may very well be healing. In some patients with low exposure to good nutrition and vitamins a low vitamin c level may also be part of this scenario.
