My husband has had these little cuts for about a month. Tried vaseline, antibiotic cream and chap stick. They just won't go away and are irritable. I heard there might be some kind of deficiency if you have these.
Any thoughts on how to get rid of them or any suggestions why he has them.
Thankyou

It is caused by by a yeast/fungal or bacterial infection. It is called Angular Chelitis. Look it up. My sister used to get it (like nyastin cream or mycalog). Go to the Dermatologist and he or she can prescribe proper cream.

I have cleared that up in the past with Carmex in the little jars, available at most drug stores. I'm sure you have Carmex up in Canada, right?

This happened to me this year. Cuts on both sides of mouth. Nothing could get rid of it. I went to the Dr. and he said I had oral thrush. Very painful. If this could possibly be the culprit-then you'll need a special antibiotic prescription cream. Plus the oral prescription medicine you'll need to take for 10 days to clear up the inside of your mouth.
I hope & pray this is not the case.

I get this all the time. This last time I did some searching and found out it is caused by a vitamin B deficiency and/or a fungus. I have tried just about everything in the past including hydrocortisone cream and expensive OTC Herpes balms. Nothing seemed to help and it took weeks for it to go away. This time I tried Lamisil cream (Lamisil does not claim it is for this use). It's for Athletes Foot (which is also a fungus) and it worked great. Please be very careful not to get it inside your mouth.

My husband and I get these all the time--we smoke--Our Dr. said it is vitamin-B deficiency and or fungus. She said to us Monistat External Cream (which is for yeast infections). It works for us. Hope this helps. precious49

"Cuts on the corner of the mouth" can be a lot of things, including all of what was mentioned here, but it sounds like you're describing something called angular cheliitis which is a manifestation of iron deficiency. You should have your iron levels checked.

Hey, I have two cheap nonfail solutions. First buy aloe vera GEL in the health food store. A bottle of thisFOOD SUPPLEMENT COST 7.99 OR LESS,
AND THAT'S FOR A QUART! kEEP IT IN THE FRIDGE ONCE OPENED. TRY A vitamin cottage store, or Whole Foods, or Natural Grocers. or online.
but be sure and buy the gel. Just put it on your cuts and feel the relief.
Keep it on all day. Carry a little in a tiny jar.
Also buy BLISTEX "DCT" conditioning treatment ointment, in pale peach jar. cost 3.99 use it everyday and you won't get these cuts.
also high vitamin C, 1000mg a day. you'll get better.
do not buy another Blistex product, only the DCT. It can be hard to find.
try Walgreens.
