Actinic Cheilitis (Solar Cheilitis): What is it? Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

This pathology is related to sun exposure and, in detail, results from the cumulative effect of ultraviolet radiation.

In most cases, actinic cheilitis is manifested by loss of the demarcation between the lip and the surrounding skin, thickening, erythema, and annoying, painful cracks.

The treatment involves the use of drugs and the removal of the lesion by classical surgery or diathermocoagulation.
