Will applying honey on cheilitis worsen it?
Cheilitis is also a type of oral inflammation, especially common in clinical settings. It is usually caused by cold, dry seasons, and is more prevalent in the dry seasons of autumn and winter. It may also be due to bad habits such as lip biting, or a deficiency in vitamins and various trace elements in the body, which leads to a decrease in immune function and the occurrence of cheilitis. Applying honey can moisturize the lips, but many cases of cheilitis present with cracking, bleeding, or even severe pain. It is advised that patients seek treatment at a standard hospital and follow a doctor's guidance in applying anti-inflammatory ointment, which can be very effective in treating cheilitis. It is recommended that patients avoid frequently touching their lips with their hands, as the skin on the lips is delicate. During dry weather, it is important to take care of the intestines, drink more water, and avoid peeling the skin off with your hands.
