When patients experience cheilitis, they can eat eggs. Eggs are a high-quality source of protein that can have beneficial effects on the repair of soft skin tissues and appropriately enhance the body's resistance. When patients experience cheilitis, it is recommended that they pay attention to the care of their lips, directly applying some anti-inflammatory ointment to the lips, which can have a good reparative and therapeutic effect. When patients experience cheilitis, they should also make sure to eat fresh vegetables and fruits often and supplement with vitamins appropriately. Consuming whole grains is also advisable, as they contain various vitamins, which are an excellent way to supplement vitamins. Additionally, during the dry seasons of autumn and winter, patients must pay attention to the care of their lips. Also, if the cheilitis is caused by contact with allergenic substances, it is advised that patients avoid contact with these substances.

Can I drink milk with cheilitis?

Cheilitis is a common condition, and patients with cheilitis can drink milk. Milk is a high-quality protein that can play a beneficial role in bodily repair and is overall beneficial to one's health, so it is recommended that patients drink milk appropriately. Additionally, it is advised that patients with cheilitis should avoid frequently licking their lips or touching them with their hands, as the skin on the inflamed lips is quite fragile and cannot withstand external irritations. Such frequent stimulation can exacerbate the inflammation. It is recommended that patients take appropriate oral vitamins. During the dry seasons of autumn and winter, patients can apply glycerin or lip balm to keep their lips moisturized.

Can cheilitis cause facial dermatitis?

Cheilitis is generally caused by the delicate skin on the lips, which may not tolerate strong external irritations, such as during the dry climate in autumn and winter. Prolonged exposure to these irritations can lead to inflammation. For example, the lips may show signs of redness, swelling, heat, pain, or dryness and peeling with bleeding, causing significant discomfort in the patient's diet and daily life. Cheilitis generally does not cause inflammation of the facial skin. However, when a patient has cheilitis, it is also possible that the face has been irritated by external climatic conditions, leading to facial dermatitis. At this time, it is advised that patients should pay attention to protecting their face, wear a mask when going out, and take good care of their facial protection. Additionally, patients can apply some ointment to the face to effectively alleviate discomfort caused by inflammation.

Can I eat corn with cheilitis?

Certainly, corn can be eaten. Corn contains many trace elements, vitamins, and dietary fiber. When experiencing cheilitis, patients can appropriately eat some corn, which can also help facilitate bowel movements. Additionally, it is important for patients to pay attention to their diet by consuming easily digestible, nutritious foods. Opt for low-fat, low-salt, high-vitamin protein and high-fiber foods. Consuming more fungi, tuberous plants, or soy products to ensure adequate protein intake can be beneficial. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits can also assist in the repair of cheilitis. Moreover, patients should avoid consuming raw, greasy, spicy, or irritating foods. When suffering from cheilitis, it is crucial to focus on reducing inflammation in the lips, and applying erythromycin ointment can be effective for anti-inflammatory treatment. (Note: The use of medications should be conducted under the guidance of a physician.)

How can exfoliative cheilitis be completely treated?

Exfoliative cheilitis is currently very difficult to completely cure. Exfoliative cheilitis is considered an immune disease, caused by external irritants, allergens, and various other factors triggering an abnormal body reaction. Clinically, it mainly presents as scaling and peeling of the lip tissue, along with chronic inflammation. Patients with this condition can undergo symptomatic treatment, but curing it entirely is very challenging. During outbreaks of exfoliative cheilitis, it is important to keep the lips clean. Methods like moist compresses can help maintain lip moisture and prevent the cheilitis from worsening due to dryness. Patients should avoid peeling off dry skin from the lips with their hands as this can lead to infections.

What is the difference between angular cheilitis and cheilitis?

Angular cheilitis usually occurs only at the two corners of the mouth, also commonly referred to as "cracked corners of the mouth." The surface may show some whitish substances and appear moist. Patients might avoid opening their mouths wide, as doing so can cause significant pain due to the worsening of the sores at the corners. This may even prevent patients from eating normally. Angular cheilitis generally refers to various inflammatory conditions of the lips, such as cracking, bleeding, and peeling, which could be caused by changes in the weather. For example, during the dry seasons of autumn and winter, patients' lips are prone to these inflammatory symptoms, showing signs like cracking, bleeding, and peeling. It is advised that patients should not peel off the skin with their hands, as this can increase the risk of infective inflammation. Thus, angular cheilitis is different from cheilitis.
