Patient's question:
Recently, for some reason, my mouth has been sore and hasn't healed, and my teeth also hurt a lot. Can chronic cheilitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
I have chronic cheilitis, a disease whose etiology is not clear and may be related to dehydration, vitamin deficiency, the habit of licking lips for a long time, and chronic physical and chemical irritation. This disease tends to recur frequently and is difficult to relieve. In daily life, it is necessary to have a light diet, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. When symptoms are severe, topical application of hormone-based creams such as Floxur cream can be used to gradually stabilize the condition.
