Is there any way to remove scars/wrinkles caused my angular cheilitis? (photos)

Asked By:mangosago in San Francisco, CA

I used to suffer from chronic angular cheilitis (cracked corners of the mouth) but over the past few months I haven't had a recurrence. However, the corners of my mouth are still severely scarred and wrinkled. I've tried everything to try to remove these scars/wrinkles. Antifungal/antibacterial creams, hydrocortisone, Eucrisa, SLS/Flouride-Free toothpaste, coconut oil, Dr. Dan's, Mederma, but nothing works! Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Perhaps laser treatment? Please help.
