DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF CHEILITIS – HOW TO CLASSIFY CHEILITIS?

Classification based on primary differences in the duration and etiology of individual groups of cheilitis is suggested, as follows: mainly reversible (simplex, angular/infective, contact/eczematous, exfoliative, drug-related); mainly irreversible (actinic, granulomatous), glandular, plasma cell.
