What Could Be The Dry Spot On The Corner Of Mouth For 2 Months?
Hi, I have a dry spot on the corner of my mouth that has been bothering me for a couple of weeks. I thought it was a start of a cold sore but it wasn t. The its about a 1/4 of an inch in diameter or less and the skin keeps pealing. What may be causing this? Thank you and have a good day.

Hi, good day.
I think you are having angular stomatitis- a condition caused due to vitamin deficiency. Just take some vitamin supplements for few days and use some local anti septic lotion for quick healing.
If it doesnt respond to this treatment, consult your local doctor.
