Sore skin around mouth

Hello
My dd (5) has got a patch of sore skin on the right hand side of her mouth. It is red, itchy and looks awful.....although luckily not spreading.
She has had it for a few weeks, so I finally admitted defeat today and booked an appt with the GP. Unfortunately she can’t be seen for 3 weeks.
Has anyone got any suggestions/tips as to what can I do in the meantime?
Over the past few weeks I have tried a variation of Sudocrem, Metanium, Blistex, Vaseline, Hydrocortisone cream and bathing in salt water. All of which have been helping.....but not actually cured it.
Any advice greatfully received

Sorry, should have said I tried that too....he basically just shrugged and said to see my GP.
