I feel similar symptoms with sweet potato. I thought it was a reaction to their high oxalate content. It was strange... about a month ago the corners of my mouth became sore. That’s never happened to me before. I applied Apple cider vinegar rinse compresses a few days and it’s been gone since. Yes, salty potato chips are my weakness too... I could easily eat a whole bag :(

The salt does seem to be part of the chapping. Mine didn't get better after stopping the salty snacks - it got better after stopping mango/kale/carrots for me.
