Summary

Actinic cheilitis is a condition of the lower lip characterized by grayish-white areas of discoloration and blunting of the demarcation between the cutaneous lip and the mucosa.

While many studies have compared treatment options for actinic cheilitis, there is still significant debate over how to best manage this condition. The chosen treatment regimen must result in complete remission while also preventing recurrence and malignant transformation. Current treatment options are vast, including both non-surgical and surgical options. Common topical therapies include 5-fluorouracil, imiquimod, ingenol mebutate and diclofenac. More recently, photodynamic therapy has been brought forward as a potential treatment modality. From a surgical perspective, a vermilionectomy is typically the procedure of choice.

TCA is a popular topical treatment for treat fine rhytides, hyperpigmentation, photodamage, and premalignant changes, such as actinic keratoses. Despite this, TCA is not commonly used for actinic changes on the lips. Here, the investigators propose an expansion of the application of TCA to be used in the treatment of actinic cheilitis.
