Cheilitis is a general term for various types of inflammatory diseases that occur on the lips. The etiology differs and the clinical manifestations and pathological features overlap, leading to difficulties in clinical diagnosis. Reasonable classification is conducive to the diagnosis of cheilitis. However, its classification is difficult because of its cha-racteristics. At present, scholars have proposed two different classification schemes, but a unified classification standard has not yet been established. We classified cheilitis based on its etiology, clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, and relationship with systemic and special diseases on the basis of special medical reports and by combining clinical practice experience and summarizing previous cheilitis diagnosis and treatment literature. In accordance with this classification method, we proposed suggestions for the clinical diagnosis of cheilitis to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of complex cheilitis.
唇炎是发生于唇部的各类炎症性疾病的统称。其病因各异，临床表现和病理特征相互重叠，导致临床诊断存在困难。合理的分类有助于唇炎的诊断。然而，因其自身特点，唇炎的分类较为困难。目前，学者们提出了两种不同的分类方案，但尚未建立统一的分类标准。我们依据特殊医学报告，结合临床实践经验并总结以往唇炎诊疗文献，根据唇炎的病因、临床表现、病理特征以及与全身和特殊疾病的关系对唇炎进行了分类。按照这种分类方法，我们提出了唇炎临床诊断的建议，为复杂唇炎的临床诊断和治疗提供参考。
