Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having angular stomatitis.
Now due to infection there are cuts on angle of mouth.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course.
Take vitamin B. complex, folic acid for few days.
Apply antibiotic cream or Gention violet locally.
Avoid wide opening of mouth.
Ok and take care.
