Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It is angular cheilitis.

Most common cause is riboflavin deficiency.

Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

You may take riboflavin containing drugs in sufficient dose. Apply antibiotic cream on fissures.

I hope this would help you.
