Author  Topic    sunshinetwo 1 Posts Posted - 07/26/2008 :  21:22:36     New to forum. I think I have actinic chelitis and am expecting treatment or biopsy on Weds this week. Would like your experience with Adara or Carac treatment of lower lip and how it was for you -- pain, scabbing, bleeding, length of treatment. Thanks, Sunshinetwo briadrick 9 Posts Posted - 08/11/2008 :  11:11:29     Actinic cheilitis, sometimes known as "farmer's lip" or "sailor's lip," is a precancerous condition related to cumulative lifetime sun exposure. The lower lip is most often affected. Individuals with actinic cheilitis often complain of persistent dryness and cracking of the lips. They will frequently exhibit other effects of sun-damaged skin, such as precancerous lesions on the skin called actinic keratoses and extensive wrinkling.    Topic
