Symptom #8: Cracks in the Corners of the Mouth
The points where the upper and bottom lips meet in the corners of the mouth are known as oral commissures. This area of soft tissue is quite sensitive to the environment and cracking can occur fairly easily.
This cracking can be quite painful and can be the result of various causes. One such cause is oral thrush. Young babies with oral thrush can also experience cracking at the corners of the mouth. Skin creams can help heal the cracks and soothe the pain.
