bubble_chart Indications

The accumulation of wind and fire in the Yangming Stomach Meridian leads to exfoliative cheilitis, which often occurs on the lower lip. Initially, it causes itching, redness, and swelling. Over time, the lip cracks and oozes fluid, causing pain as intense as a burning fire, and the lip may appear as if it has no skin. If wind is predominant, the lip may twitch frequently.
