hi guys!
I am lately getting cracks in the morners of my mouth.As soon as they heal, they appear again.
It is not a cold sores or anything like that.
Just a cracks that drive me crazy.
Why does it happen and how to prevent it?
Thanks

I just got one, too. Had 'em before. It's a combo of dry skin (the weather is turning), B-vitamin deficiency, and/or a fungus.
Use moisturizing ointment (Aquaphor), check your diet/vitamin supplement intake, and you may need an antifungal cream from a doctor if it doesn't heal.

it's a deficiency of some sort. eat a good well balanced diet and they should go away. i believe it could be a lack of zinc or iron, or even could be vitamin b. a multivitamin wont hurt either.
good luck.

Consider iron deficiency, which can cause this problem.

MAYBE YOU ARE OVEREXTENDING YOUR MOUTH OPENING OR TALKING TOO-MUCH OR LAUGHING TOO MUCH. JUST SMILE SWEETLY, TALK SOFTLY, AND DON'T OPEN YOU MOUTH WIDELY!! AND DON'T PUT BIG THINGS IN YOUR MOUTH, TOO!
