Symptoms and treatment of cheilitis

Plasma cell cheilitis: mainly involving the lower lip, more common in the elderly. At the beginning, small blisters appeared on the lip mucosa, which were soon broken and scabbed. If the surface was not eroded, localized dark red edematous plaque with clear boundary could be seen, and the surface was glossy like paint.
