A member asked:
What could be the reason for the corners of my mouth being raw and like burning almost? it's been about three days. i apply lip balm and vaseline to my lips but it hasn't gone away yet?

At your age,&for just 3days,it may be -that you are eating an irritant(orange wedges, pineapple),-your nose might be stuffy&makes you breath thru your mouth at night(saliva collects in corners) OR, the most important:you have thrush (yeast, whitish coated tongue).For the first 2 causes:Hydrocortisone cream OTC: 2times/day.For yeast: go to PCP to check your sugar& treat it. If chronic is jaw place.
