- Vermillonectomy is therapy of first choice, in which the red of the lips is removed in horizontal strips, the lip mucosa is mobilized as a lip replacement and sutured to the adjacent field skin.
Notice! In case of Cheileitis abrasiva praecancerosa always exclude an invasive growing spinocellular carcinoma!
- Alternative: If the location is clearly intraepidermal (previous biopsy!), cryosurgery can be used (stamping (or open spray method) in 2 cycles at -180 °C) or superficial vaporization withCO2 laser.
