Treating this area with a barrier cream such as vaseline and using a mild cortisone ointment may be helpful. Also, adding a little filler in the depression can help reduce the valley in which the moisture is accumulating. Solving the underlying problem is best...

Answer: Increased pigmentation at the corners of the mouth A common condition seen at the corner of the mouth is called angular cheilitis. This is caused by increased moisture pooling at the angles of the mouth from saliva. This can be encouraged by groove development at the corners of the mouth for a number of reasons. Hydrostatic pressure attracts the saliva to the oral commissures. This excess moisture collection causes irritation which can cause scaliness and secondary hyperpigmentation. Mild topical corticosteroid creams, and even filler can change this pattern of moisture pooling at the corners and the condition eventually clears.
