Not sure if this is a skin problem, but i didn't see a separate place for mouth/lip problems.

My lips are starting to get cracked at the corners.It hurts when I smile or when I open my mouth wide to eat something. It looks like small paper cuts. I've been doing a lot of research on this, because it's pretty irritating.

I found out it is called Angular Cheilitis. I've seen the most common treatments for this include: B-Complex vitamins, a 1% hydro cortisone cream, Vitamin-E oil and Tea Tree oil, lanoline creams, a Z-Pac anti biotic, drinking more water, switching toothpastes, an anti-fungal cream, and not licking your lips.

Which of these works best? Which methods don't work? Are there any other ways to treat the cracks at the corner of your mouth? I'm going to make a run to the store in the morning and want to know what to try.
