Prevention is an important component to the management of<unk><unk>  dermatitis. Breaking the cycle (dryness, then licking, followed by more dryness) is key to treatment, many people are unaware of the number of times they lick their<unk> s every day. Some daily steps to take that will make a difference include adequate hydration and moisturizing<unk> s with an ultraviolet-protecting<unk>  balm. Common ingredients found in<unk>  balm such as menthol, eucalyptus, cinnamon, and peppermint oil should be avoided if found to cause irritation. Generous application of bland emollients can improve the rash and any flaking or peeling that can start occurring when the<unk> s are irritated. However, complete resolution will not occur until the<unk>  licking stops. In the presence of severe irritation and dryness where cracks are present, the use of a thick emollient such as petroleum jelly can provide some relief and protection. Sometimes, unlike in perioral dermatitis, topical steroids may be used for a few days only for acute inflammation and if other methods were found unsuccessful. This is under supervision of a physician. If no relief is found through these initial treatment methods or symptoms have worsened, allergy patch tests should be considered in order to explore the possibility that allergy cheilitis is the cause, in this case avoidance of the allergen would be the best course of treatment. Many people have been found to have hypersensitivity to dental products, ingredients in<unk>  balms, and cosmetic problems in which case identifying the factors that are aggravating the skin and discontinuing their use can resolve the issue.<unk>  licking behavior may have been caused by psychological disorders, so it is emphasized to identify the psychological nature of<unk>  licking behavior. Cooperation of psychiatrists and dermatologists is recommended in treatment of<unk> .
