Dermoscopy of Cheilitis: A Comprehensive Review of Principal Findings

Abstract

Cheilitis, an inflammatory condition affecting the lips, presents with various etiologies and clinical manifestations. Early and accurate diagnosis of cheilitis is essential for appropriate treatment and management. Dermoscopy has emerged as a valuable diagnostic tool in dermatology, allowing for non-invasive visualization of skin structures. This review article aims to provide an in-depth understanding of dermoscopic findings in the context of cheilitis, including the identification of specific features associated with different types of cheilitis and the potential role of dermoscopy in guiding treatment decisions.
