Cheilitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the lips. The inflammation may include the perioral skin (the skin around the mouth), the vermilion border, or the labial mucosa.[1] The skin and the vermilion border are more commonly involved, as the mucosa is less affected by inflammatory and allergic reactions.[1]
Cheilitis is a general term, and there are many recognized types and different causes. According to its onset and course, cheilitis can be either acute or chronic.[2] Most cheilitis is caused by exogenous factors such as dryness (chapping) and acute sun exposure.[2] Allergic tests may identify allergens that cause cheilitis.[3]
