How Can Cracked Skin On The Corners Of The Mouth Be Treated?
My 11 year old son has raw cracked skin on the corners of his mouth. He says they itch and he picks at it alot which doesn t help the healing process. the pediatrician game us a cream to put on it this past summer. It helped but directions say to only use it for a week. after a while will come back again. Is there anything otc that I can use to help heal it. It seems to be worse after he eats acidic food or drinks.
