Cheilitis Treatment in Dhaka – Expert Care by Dr. A. K. M. Rezaul Haque
Cheilitis is a common yet often uncomfortable condition that causes inflammation of the lips. As a dermatologist and venereologist, I frequently treat patients suffering from different types of cheilitis, including angular cheilitis, exfoliative cheilitis, and allergic contact cheilitis. With my clinical experience and patient-focused approach, I provide effective, personalized treatment to restore lip health and comfort.
What is Cheilitis?
Cheilitis refers to inflammation of the lips, which may present as dryness, cracking, redness, scaling, or painful sores. The condition can affect one or both corners of the mouth or the entire lip surface, depending on the type and underlying cause.Causes of Cheilitis
In my practice, I carefully evaluate the root cause before starting treatment. Common causes include:
- Fungal or bacterial infections
- Allergic reactions (lipsticks, toothpaste, cosmetics)
- Nutritional deficiencies (especially Vitamin B and iron)
- Excessive lip licking or environmental exposure
- Underlying skin conditions
Identifying the exact cause is essential for long-term relief and prevention.
