A member asked:

Have dry patch at left corner of mouth. not just cracked corner, more like rash. doesnt itch. i drink plenty of water and try to get needed vitamins. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible impetigo: if the patch is like a red rash and a little bit painful, it might be a staph/strep infection...often called impetigo. You could try otc antibiotic ointment (I prefer bacitracin) but if it doesnt respond, see your PCP...or consider a consult with HealhTAP with telemedicine level contact.
