Many people don’t know much about chronic cheilitis and think the disease is not serious enough. If chronic cheilitis is not treated in time, it can lead to many physical complications. For example, it can lead to diseases such as tracheitis and rheumatism, which are very harmful to the body. Some even say the disease may lead to cancer. So can this disease lead to cancer? Let’s learn about the dangers of chronic cheilitis.

1. Is chronic cheilitis likely to become cancerous?

If cheilitis recurs and becomes chronic, it will be more serious. If the infection spreads further, the ears and nose will be affected. Eventually, it may even be complicated by acute rhinitis and acute otitis media. Over time, the vocal cords become thicker and thicker, and polyps develop, which may lead to cancer.

2. Understand the dangers of chronic cheilitis

1. Cheilitis is a cause of oral cancer. Patients with cheilitis have few symptoms when they first develop the disease. However, as the disease progresses, symptoms such as redness, swelling, and peeling will appear one after another. Many patients have this situation, and the effect is not obvious even after a long period of treatment. If this continues, it may lead to tissue deterioration and the development of oral cancer.

2. Cheilitis may hide other serious diseases. Many patients with cheilitis develop cheilitis due to diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis. But many patients don't pay attention to these hidden diseases. Only focusing on treating cheilitis will lead to recurrence of the disease and further aggravation of symptoms.

3. Severe cheilitis can cause many complications. Many patients will experience symptoms such as fever, cough, headache, muscle and joint swelling and pain. If a fungal infection occurs and extends to the skin, it is likely to cause skin bleeding.

Today, I will introduce you to the "Dangers of Chronic Cheilitis". Chronic cheilitis seems to be an inconspicuous disease, but its harm is quite serious. Therefore, we cannot underestimate this disease. Once chronic cheilitis becomes cancerous, the damage caused to the body may be difficult for us to bear, so we must do a good job in preventing the disease.
