Cracked lips at corners
Common Questions and Answers about Cracked lips at corners
lip
For 2 months I have suffered with dry cracked lips, redness in corners of mouth. Moisture tends to collect in corners of mouth. I feel like if I smile my mouth is stretching. I am constantally wiping the moisture out of the corners of my mouth. My lips have a burning sensation inside and out. Mouthwash sets me on fire, but just the anterior portion of my mouth. I have tried many kinds of chapstick. The redness in the corners of my mouth is spreading. It is very embarassing.
My lips do this if I use certain brands of lip balm and if I don't exfoliate them at least once a day.
I use my face brush with my face wash rinsed off and on the slow speed setting to get the stuff that's peeling and ick off. You can use your toothbrush, too, or a clean washcloth.
I'm not a fan of ChapStick brand at ALL. Everything they make has made my lips worse and caused cracked corners in my lips.
But he has ate me out... and one time he had what looked like cracked lips... on both corners of his lips. and he ate me out... after i realized they were there it was to late... i freaked out but it was on both sides... and looked like cracked dry lips... anyways that was about 3 weeks ago.. well about a week ago i thought i had an UTI. Hard to pee. Felt like i had to pee all the time. hurt before i pee'd.
This winter I got chapped lips and started using Burts Beeswax daily. Went well all winter then last week I woke up and my lips we're so chapped, I yawned and the corners of my mouth cracked. 3 cuts on both sides for a total of 6 cracks.. ouch! Also the areas around the corner are numb. There is a burning pain all day and the edges of my mouth are itchy. This has been going for 4 days now. I've used vaseline and changed to medicated blistex but no relief. Any help would be great.

Irritation and fissuring in the corners of the lips is termed angular stomatitis. It can also extend to lips and area around it. In all probability you could also have very dry lips. A lip balm preferably petroleum jelly, Vit B supplements, iron, and honey should help. If it does not please consult a skin specialist.
There is one very simple thing that I would like to tell you. Lip area when it heals, forms a scab like dry layer.

Make an appointment to see your doctor again so that he can take a swab of the corners of your lips and from inside your mouth to find out if there is a fungal issue and also ask your doctor to run some blood tests with regard to ruling out any medical conditions.
I took a benadryl and it went down a little bit, and during the whole day they felt numb but itchy at the same time. They are also a little cracked and chapped. Especially at the corners of my mouth. It is worse when I wake up in the morning, but I'm thinking that is because it is the longest time that I don't take anything. I haven't eaten anything different and I washed all my bedding when it first happened. They are a little less swollen today, but they are really annoying.
Once I used the anti fungal cream for a while, the corners healed up some but I noticed the cracking moving down to my lower lip. At this point it did ooz some. If I went in the sun, the corner would get very inflamed and red.
I went to see my family doctor and she stated that she thought I had a fever blister, at this point it had almost cleared up. She told me to use sunscreen for my lips when outside and to use aquafor to keep my mouth nice and moist.
licking your lips, which is common when they are dry and irritated, but that tends to irritate the lips even more.
When the corners of the lips are cracked, bacteria and yeast that are normally present in the mouth can get into those cracks when there is some dripping of saliva at nighttime and cause more inflammation.
Or a bad case of Chapped lips , a condition whereby the lips become dry and possibly cracked. It may be caused by the evaporation of moisture.
Lip balm can often provide temporary relief, though it should not be used extensively. One should avoid licking their lips as saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which can damage the already compromised lip tissue.
Honey can be used on the lips as a natural remedy.
I have a reddish rash in the corners of my mouth, tightness around the outline of the lips, and a feeling of increased roughness (like there is some abnormal friction) on the inside of the lips, especially on the inside of the lower lip which causes it to be caught in the chewing process and be bitten, swollen, and got caught in even more. The corners of my mouth crack also, and that hurts. All this has been going on for about a month by now.
The down side is that they hurt. The tissue around the lips is cracked, and the corners are the worst. In the mornings, my lips (and surrounding damaged tissue) are covered with green stuff, and when I try to wipe it off, it feels like I'm peeling off live skin. It's difficult to eat, brush my teeth, and even talk.
i've had the EXACT same issues/symptons with my lips as you have had in the second half of your post. everything is identical. my corners are cracked and kinda painful though. i know it's not from chapped lips because i am always using chapstick. i too have given my boyfriend oral sex. he is the only person i've ever had any type of sexual contact with. he has had sexual contact with others though. he has had sex one time with one person, that was it.
ve gotten better but about 5 days ago my lips started becoming sore at the corners. The following day I had bumps all over my lips and my lips were really swollen, red and chapped... No blisters, though. I immediately started taking garlic pills, bought Abreva, Carmex, and a Lysine ointment and have been using all these products at once.
The following day my lips were worse!! Extremely dry, bumpy, chapped, red, and swollen. I also noticed my inner vaginal lips were swollen.
When I woke up I had burning lips in upper lip that was red and the corners of my lips were cracked on both sides. Later on I developed cracks in my nostrils that were also inflamed. Furthermore I got a red streak on my penis head that hurt like hell that turned into patches on my penis. My left foot got an extremely itchy crack on it that turned into chronic pain that sometimes gets red after the crack healed. I get pain there all the time now.
One time I even woke up with swollen red lips that also had burning blisters around the edges along with split corners! At first I thought it was Perioral Dermatitis, so I put some apple cider vinegar (ACV) on it to dry it out because I had read online that ACV could cure it. It certainly dried it out and appeared to make it better after 2-3 days. I then went to my family doctor about it, and he thought it was an allergic reaction to either my makeup or my birth control pill (I take Sprintec).
The things which worries me the most is that from week six until now i keep getting recurring mouth ulcers (aphtous) and I have a very dry mouth with cracked lips and cracked corners of the mouth. I have had several tests since then: Antibodies test at 3, 5, 8, and 12 weeks; HIV Combi (antibodies and p24 antigen) at 6.5, 9 and 13 weeks; HIV PCR RNA (viral load) at 3 and 5.5 weeks and a HIV PCR DNA (proviral DNA detection) at 6.5 weeks. My tests results were negative. Could I still be infected?
i have peeling lips every day for a long time now they chap and peel at least twice a day and im do not lick my lips as a habit only whenn i have to exfoliate that membrane off i believe this might have to do with premature aging of my internal tissues and the certian amount of hollowing that has gone on internally from exteme stress and injuries that i have been under alot of pian for too long i recently found out that i have a vitamin deficiantcy at my pian clinic of d2 i am justa slow healer
