Cheilitis: Analysis of 75 cases referred to a contact dermatitis clinic

Abstract: The most common cause of cheilitis was irritation, frequently caused by liplicking. About one quarter was caused by ACD. Medicaments, lipsticks, sunscreens, and toothpaste were the most common allergens. Atopic eczema is a commonly overlooked cause of cheilitis. However, there is a troublesome group of patients, 9% in this series, who are often severely affected, but the cause of their cheilitis remains obscure.
