Angular cheilitis: This is likely a case of angular cheilitis and not cellulits. Angular cheilitis can be caused by the following: candida malocclusion riboflavin deficiency iron deficiency antibiotics will not help this condition. Hope that helps!

Cellulitis- chelitis: Did you get diagnosed with cellulitis or more likely chellitis? The later is helped by watching how often you moisten the sides of your lips with your tongue(need to keep as dry as possible) and may be helped with the use of a multivitamin orally and vitamin e cream locally.

Glutamine and Vit B2: It sounds like stomatitis with inflammation rather than cellulitis. Use l-glutamine 2gm twice daily for 2 weeks with riboflavin 100mg three times for 2 weeks to heal mucosa. Do aloe cleanse 3 day of 1 bottle 32 oz aloe followed by 4 day of activated b complex by isotonic do this cycle x 3 to heal mucosa completely.
