Dryness around the corners of the mouth

Ree
I am almost 10 weeks today. I noticed this morning that the corners of my mouth have gone extremely dry on either sides and appear flaky. I don't want to assume everything is due to the pregnancy but I hope it's not some deficiency that I should be worried about. Anyone else facing this?

I was reading about biotin suplenta the other day. It said one of the symptoms of low biotin is dryness at the corners of the mouth

It's called Chelitis. Common, use an otc anti fungal like a dermafungal 2% ointment or miconazole and it should help. ?

Omg I've had this with both pregnacies .. The dr told me (I know it's gross) that it is a common fungal thing? He told me to dab a little clotramizole on a q tip w a little aquaphor on top for flakes and it cleared up for me in 2 days.

I have had this too. When I yawn in the morning I feel like I reopen a cut on both sides. I'm 13 weeks and I noticed around 8.

I have this too! It's almost cracked and hurts. I'm 8wks. I have been applying Vaseline but it isn't helping!

I have noticed this too off and on. It hasn't lasted more than a day so I haven't worried about it. I know I drink plenty of water. I am 10w tomorrow.
