Cold windy weather tends to give me the same condition as you, despite applying lip balm religiously :irked:

The only thing I've found that does really work though, is Vaseline Lip Therapy (with apologies it's not a pro product).

Hope that helps.

I've done some Googling because I always believed it was a symptom of a vitamin deficiency of some sort, I have no idea why I thought this but it seems it's possible according to this link:-

Cracked Corners of the Mouth - Understanding angular cheilitis or perleche

It mentions lots of possibilies but an iron deficiency and anemia can be a cause, is this possible for you? especially as we're coming out of winter and everyone is a bit run down.

Hope you get an answer soon, it must be really painful

Hi I've been suffering from this for over a year and looked on the Internet and assumed it was a yeast infection. I went to the doctors cod it kept coming up and turns out its a B12 deficiency. They told me to take multi vitamins and put balm on them to soften the skin x hope this helps x

Thank you. I have multivitamins ill give it a go x

Do you watch the program on TV "behind GP doors" - or words to that effect? Last week a girl went in and said she was completely exhausted all the time. The doctor noticed straight away that she had cracks in the corner of her mouth and said it meant a deficiency in her diet. If you're really worried it might be worth visiting your doctor.

Cod liver oil. A tablespoon a day helps so much. Make sure it's the type from Norway or Iceland

This is the one I use daily. Helped my lips so much. Helps plump my face as well. Not a fishy taste as has lemon. Also helped me sleep better. Not all cod liver oil the same:
