Whether cheilitis recurs annually depends on the specific causes of the patient's cheilitis and factors such as the care they take in their daily lives. Not all patients will experience recurrent cheilitis every year.

Firstly, the causes of cheilitis are not yet very clear, but common triggering factors in daily life usually include irritation from foods, exposure to sunlight, cold stimuli, dryness, or allergic factors. If a patient is exposed to the same stimuli at the same time each year, it may cause the cheilitis to recur annually. However, if the patient takes precautions in daily life, such as avoiding exposure to sunlight, the cheilitis may not occur frequently.
