Inflammation of the lips, when crusts start to form, indicates that the patient's cheilitis is healing. Crusting generally occurs in the later stages of healing, which is a positive sign. However, when crusts have formed, patients should avoid picking at them with their hands or forcibly tearing them off. Doing so may cause additional bleeding and rupture, possibly increasing inflammation and impeding the healing process. Therefore, patients can apply some anti-inflammatory ointment to the affected area. When applying, it is best to use a cotton swab instead of touching directly with the hands. Additionally, patients with cheilitis should pay careful attention to lip care in their daily life. During dry seasons, it is appropriate to apply some lip balm, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and avoid frequently licking the lips. (Medication use should be under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
