| description | Exfoliative cheilitis is a hardly diagnosed disease by pediatricians. We have presented this report to draw the attention of clinicians
because the child is the youngest patient with complete relief from using tacrolimus ointment in the literature. We present the three-year-old child with scaled, crusted, and sensitive upper and lower lips. He was admitted to different centers from the beginning
of the complaints without any relief despite different treatments. The clinicians may encounter exfoliative cheilitis in different age
groups. There are some approaches to management and therapy of the disease. But consensus has not yet occurred on definitive
treatment, especially in childhood. |
