Swollen lips: Swollen lips can be due to various acute and chronic skin disorders. Inflamed lips are also called "cheilitis". Diagnosis and treatment requires consultation with a dermatologist. General advice includes to avoid licking or smacking your lips, and to apply plenty of emollient lip balm. Keep an eye out for contact factors that irritate your lips, and avoid them.
