I have two suggestions. The first is to drink plenty of water so that you are hydrated. Second, I suggest using the lip balm Carmex. It's the best for cracks.

You could try any lip balm. Cracks there hurt because it pulls when opening your mouth. A theory is mouth cracks in the corners means a vitamin B shortage in your body. Hope this helps.
