For reference: the first pic is currently what I’m dealing with, and second pic is beginning of June

I have been having ongoing issues with this problem since January. I finally saw my doctor in June after getting fed up of various OTC creams and lip balms not working, and was diagnosed with angular chelitis. I was prescribed Daktacort which didn’t work, so went back to my doctor where I was then diagnosed with perioral dermatitis. He then prescribed me Zindaclin gel which also hasn’t worked. Due to multiple treatment failures, I have now been referred to a dermatologist to see if there’s anything else that can be done.

I am genuinely at a loss of what else I can do, I’ve swapped my toothpaste incase that was the cause and had no luck, using Vaseline as a barrier before brushing my teeth and still not helping, tried antifungal and antibiotic creams and literally nothing is working. Both corners of my lip are completely split now and it is so so sore, I can’t even eat or brush my teeth without discomfort. Not to mention it looks awful and I feel so insecure about my appearance. Has anyone got any advice because I’m genuinely at my wits end?

Ignore my botched thumb I had to file it down to fit lol
