AB Lip  licker’s  dermatitis  is  caused  by  repeated  exposure  of  the  vermillion  border  and  the  cutaneous  lips  to  saliva.  Children  and  young  adults  are  more  commonly  affected,  but  older  adults,  including  the  elderly,  can  be  afflicted.  Irritants  in  topical  lip  preparations  can  initiate  this  process  or  can  worsen  a  presentation.  Winter  is  the  most  common  time  to  see  lip  licker’s  dermatitis  due  to  the  constant  exposure  to  cold  air  and  low  humidity,  but  presentations  occur  throughout  the  year.
