Chelitis

is the presence of fissures and red, scaly skin at the corners of the mouth and lips. This is usually due to moisture collecting at the corners of the mouth, but can also be complicated by infection from bacteria or the yeast Candida. The application of a mild steroid cream is useful, along with treating infection when present.
