Abstract:
A 4-year-old boy complained of dryness of
lips for a 3-month duration. The dryness
progressed to becoming scaly and painful,
and lesions extended beyond the lip area.
The condition was associated with peri-oral
itchiness. The boy was observed to be licking
his lips subconsciously a few times per minute.
The lesions started with a habitual licking of
the lips. There was no history of allergies or any
recent intake of a new drug. There was also no
history of atopy in the patient or his family
