Diagnostic Questions for Cheilitis

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Have you noticed a lump or bump in your mouth?
  • Are your lips red?
  • Do you have dry and flaky skin?
  • Are there sores or erosions on your lips?
  • Do you have pain in your mouth?

Treatment of Cheilitis

Lip balm and petroleum jelly can keep the lips moist. Treatment also depends on the cause. Antibiotic or antifungal creams can be given for infections, or vitamin supplements for deficiencies.
