I have had angular cheilitis that has been lasting for several months. I have consulted my doctor several times but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

If you have been dealing with perleche for several months and have not found relief from your doctor, it may be helpful to try applying Vaseline to your lips multiple times a day, along with using cortisone in the corners of your mouth. Avoid letting food come into contact with the affected area. Typically, you should start to see improvement within 3 to 4 days.
