hi everyone,

this weekend, i went to la to go see a few friends. on my second day there the corners of my lips started getting really dry and flaky. i was putting aquaphor on it but it kept getting worse. when i got home sunday night it pretty much looked like this, i took this picture monday night.

sometimes i get angular cheilitis in the corners of my lips, but it has never been this bad, and to my understanding it usually doesn’t go that far down the lip. i put some antifungal cream on it last night and it is less red and irritated today.

i’m just curious if anyone knows if this is angular cheilitis again, or just really really dry lips. i knew california was dry but i didn’t expect it to be THIS dry 😭
