hi
welcome to healthcare magic forum
thanks for your query
what you have is known as angular chelitis .
it may be due to many reason but most common due to candidial infection or dryness
you need to apply anti fungal and moisturizer cream twice a day
avoid lip licking
better to consult dermatologist
immune system play major role in this condition ,so better to do some blood test to identify immune deficiency
i hope i answered your question
