The clinical manifestations of "lipstick disease" include chapped lips, swollen lips, itching, pain, severe cases may present with lip nodules (keratinized lips), and changes in lip mucosa lesions.
According to statistics, about 10% of women who frequently wear lipstick suffer from "lipstick disease." The main components of lipstick are lanolin, wax, and dyes. Lanolin is complex and can easily cause allergic reactions in people with allergic constitutions. Additionally, lanolin has strong adsorption properties, which can attract dust, bacteria, viruses, and some heavy metal ions onto the lips. Special attention should be paid to the fact that certain chemical dyes in lipstick can be harmful to the human body. If one does not pay attention while drinking water or eating, these harmful substances can enter the body and affect health.
