Chapped corner of lips, not healing
Hi Doctor,
The right corner of my lips has become chapped and when I try to open my mouth wide, it hurts. It doesn't bleed, but it hurts. I have tried using vaseline to keep the area moist and am also having vitamin B supplement, but still no progress. Now it seems to have plasma deposition (yellow deposits), as if it is a wound. It itches a bit too. Kindly suggest some solution.
Thanks in advance. Hope the photos help.
