Hi,

Hope there is a Doctor or someone that can help.

I think I have the above, which is just basically a cracked lip in the corner (where the the upper lip meets the lower).

It has been like this for about 18 days now. It sort of heals a bit over night and in the morning is cracks open again, when I brush, eat, talk, smile etc.

It is now getting red around the area and I need some help.

How do I get it to go away.

Help
