What causes cheilitis and what are the reasons

As a common lip disease, cheilitis is known to many people, but not many people know the causes of cheilitis. Cheilitis can be caused by allergies, dryness, or external stimuli. To prevent diseases, we need to know more about their causes.

1. Acute allergic cheilitis is a mucosal disease that is prone to occur. Since the surface tissue of the lip is very thin, foreign bodies can easily "invade". The immune cells and antibodies running in the blood vessels will "stand up" and "fight" with the invaders, which may lead to the occurrence of acute allergic cheilitis.

2. The cause of dry and desquamative cheilitis may be related to acute inflammation, or it may be related to sun exposure, tobacco, alcohol, and cosmetic stimulation. White rosary infection can cause fungal cheilitis, and grayish-white scales can cover the entire lip. Fungal cheilitis is mainly characterized by white pseudomembranes or patches, which are not easy to remove, and may cause lip redness, swelling, ulcers, and erosions.

3. Dryness and coldness, especially related to bad habits such as lip licking and lip biting. The disease occurs after exposure to sunlight. Bad habits such as licking lips, biting lips, and tearing off thin scabs on the lip red can cause infection and erosion over time, leading to cheilitis. Cheilitis can also occur if lip burns are not treated in time.
