The aim of this paper is to compare the diagnosis and treatment of two cases of CGL at an early age (one in a child and the other in a young adult with mental retardation) with the diagnosis and treatment of actinic cheilitis, which is much more prevalent [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Management and treatment Mild cases do not require specific treatment. [orpha.net]

Treatment Medical Care The approach to treatment for cheilitis glandularis is based on diagnostic information obtained from histopathologic analysis, the identification of likely etiologic factors responsible for the cheilitis glandularis, and attempts [emedicine.medscape.com]

The treatment was stopped since the patient had not any pain and edema and very satisfied for the outcome. [e-ijd.org]

Prognosis With proper treatment and surveillance, the prognosis is good. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Moreover, one must keep in mind that an underlying mood or anxiety disorder which is curable, bodes for a better prognosis, whereas an underlying personality disorder, bodes for a poorer prognosis. [13] Conclusion Thorough clinical history, utilization [cjhr.org]

Prognosis [ edit ] The severity of oral candidiasis is subject to great variability from one person to another and in the same person from one occasion to the next. [8] The prognosis of such infection is usually excellent after the application of topical [en.wikipedia.org]

Pathophysiology In 1870, von Volkmann introduced the term cheilitis glandularis. [2] He described a clinically distinct, deeply suppurative chronic inflammatory condition of the lower lip characterized by mucopurulent exudates from the ductal orifices [emedicine.medscape.com]

To treat this type of cheilitis one should first of all prevent any contact with the allergen, take antihistamines and apply corticosteroid ointments to the sore place. [dent-wiki.com]

Preventive treatment such as vermilionectomy (lip shave) is the treatment of choice. Intralesional steroids, minocycline and tacrolimus ointment are the other treatment modalities. [indianpediatrics.net]
