Cheilitis refers to inflammation of the lips, leading to swelling, redness, and discomfort. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, allergies, or dry weather.
Red, swollen lips
Cracking or bleeding at the corners of the mouth
Pain or tenderness in the affected area
Dryness and flaking of skin on the lips
Itching or irritation
While patent remedies may offer temporary relief, they fail to address the root causes of cheilitis, such as dehydration, infection, or allergies. A comprehensive approach with proper care and lifestyle changes is necessary.
