summary

In life, there are many patients with dry mouth. Both men and women may suffer from it. It's cool in autumn, dry and windy. Many people will feel that their lips are dry and chapped, so they will unconsciously lick their lips. But the result is often counterproductive. The symptoms of dry lips are aggravated, and even lead to lip swelling and blood scab. In fact, the above symptoms are typical clinical manifestations of chronic cheilitis. Let's share some experience.

What is the reason for dry mouth

First, chronic cheilitis is a chronic, nonspecific inflammatory disease of the lip, which is caused by various long-term and continuous stimulation, such as dryness and cold, especially related to bad habits such as licking and biting. When using the tongue to lick the lips, due to the drying of the outside air, the moisture brought by saliva will not only evaporate quickly, but also take away the little moisture in the lips, resulting in a vicious circle of more and more dry licking, more and more dry licking, and even pigmentation of the skin at the corners of the mouth.

Second: in autumn, the lips are easy to scab, which is also related to the bad habit of licking lips. Because saliva contains a variety of digestive enzymes, after saliva evaporates, these macromolecular proteins will remain on the lips and form scab together with the cells falling off the lips. Because the tissue under the scab is incomplete, if it is forced to tear off, it will cause more local exudation and form more scab.

Third: lip dryness is a common symptom in autumn and winter, which can be prevented by adjusting diet and daily habits. First, eat more fresh vegetables, such as soybean sprouts, rape, cabbage, radish and so on, in order to increase the intake of B vitamins. Second, timely supplement of sufficient water, adequate drinking water, for the balance of human function is of great help, can effectively prevent lip dryness. Third, both men and women should use lip balm to protect their lips and try to add colourless lipstick with less irritating ingredients. For people with allergic constitution, applying sesame oil or honey on the lips with cotton swabs can also have a good moisturizing effect. Fourth, try to avoid wind, sun and other external stimulation, can take the way to wear masks to protect. Fifth, correct the bad habits of licking and biting lips.
