Red, bumpy and dry (a little itchy) skin around mouth area

Hi I'm in my 11 weeks and I suddenly have red itchy flare ups at the corner of my mouth and around the lower lip / chin area. I don't have history of eczema as well. Would anyone know if this is normal and what can I do to reduce this? :(

it's called angular cheilitis and I used to have them as well during pregnancy. it was a temporary thing and soon will reside. I used antifungal cream and also lip balm on it. take care mama!

I also had this!! It could be caused by dryness (hormonal issue). Try Suu Balm to sooth the itch, and Vaseline petroleum jelly to moisturise it. Totally work for me!
