Angular chelitis is a description of the lesion and not the cause. It is often mixed fungal and bacterial. It may be related to a nutritional deficiency or allergy but you still need to heal it. If OTC anti-fungal doesn’t work then you need a prescription antibiotic.

Including your own. My derm thought it was that and failed to order a blood test. I suffered through if for a year thanks to his failure to diagnose.

Bottom line - it could be a number of things. I’d see your internist.

What was the cause of your angular cheilitis?
