Are these scars or can my skin still be healing? Possibly Angular Cheilitis related. (Photos)

I have had cracked corners on the side of my lips all year long. I've tried 1% hydrocortisone and anti-fungal cream to treat it. After a few days, I noticed the redness and the irritation from eating spicy/salty food was gone. However, I was left with these lines on both corners of my lips. I am scared to open my mouth because my lips are constantly dry and I keep getting more of these lines. I am using vaseline to keep the areas moisturized by preventing more lines. I'm not sure what to do.
