Hello, cheilitis is more commonly encountered in clinical practice. Symptoms may include dryness, scaling, and fissuring. This condition may develop due to chronic irritation, common colds, alcohol and tobacco exposure, allergic reactions, and habitual lip biting. In daily life, drink plenty of water, consume fresh fruits and vegetables, supplement with vitamins, follow a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and apply lip balm regularly. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
