Meteorological cheilitis found in Nizhny Novgorod children: what is its danger

      On May 4, 2026, at 11:08, Society The results of the family dispensarization conducted by specialists from clinics No. 30 and No. 39 of the Soviet district were summarized in Nizhny Novgorod. Thus, 15 out of 29 children were diagnosed with meteorological cheilitis. As explained by the chief editor of the medical publication "Stationary Press," Alexey Nikонов, in his MAX channel, this is not just "chapped lips," but an inflammatory process that can become an entry point for infections. Due to adverse weather conditions, children's lips crack, causing discomfort and painful sensations. In addition, an endocrinologist found excess body weight in ten children. Specialists emphasize that one should not rely on the child "growing out of it." Excess weight at a young age creates additional strain on the heart and increases the risk of developing diabetes in the future. Earlier, it was reported that Nizhny Novgorod medics saved a 21-year-old patient with a rare autoimmune encephalitis. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
