Angular cheilitis can occur most commonly due to either vitamin b deficiency or due to candida infection .
Take oral multivitamin supplements and apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole over the affected area twice daily.
Continue the above treatment regularly for atleast two weeks for complete recovery.
