These days, when I got up in the morning, I found that my lips were very dry and seemed to be a little peeling. I always wanted to scratch them with my hands, which was itchy. I was really uncomfortable. I went to see a doctor, and the doctor said that I was suffering from cheilitis. Now let's talk about what kind of cheilitis is.

It mostly occurs in the lower lip, such as scaling and scab, which is called exfoliative cheilitis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "lip wind" generally has a good prognosis.
