Question 71

Cheilitis is a condition that affects the lips. It can be caused by factors like cold weather (which is relevant here as the person shoveled snow in frigid temperatures), leading to inflammation or irritation of the lips. Ears, fingers, and toes are not associated with cheilitis.

Hypertrichosis is a condition of excessive hair growth. Hirsutism is also related to excessive hair growth (though hirsutism is often more related to abnormal hair growth in women in a male - pattern, it is still a type of excessive hair growth and can be used interchangeably with hypertrichosis in terms of the general concept of excessive hair. Alopecia is hair loss, dyshidrosis is a skin condition affecting hands and feet with blisters, and ichthyosis is a skin condition with scaly skin. So hirsutism is the term that can be used interchangeably with hypertrichosis.

Answer:

C. lips
