    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Factitious cheilitis is a rare condition characterized by self-induced lip lesions.
    • It is often associated with underlying personality disturbances.

    Observation:

    • This study describes six patients (four male, two female) diagnosed with factitious cheilitis.
    • Patients presented with crusted lip lesions of varying severity, from thin serous crusts to thick hemorrhagic crusts.
    • All patients exhibited personality disturbances.

    Findings:

    • Factitious cheilitis requires differentiation from other forms of cheilitis, including infectious, contact, actinic, photosensitivity, exfoliative, and glandular types.
    • Diagnosis relies on a thorough patient history and comprehensive laboratory evaluation.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of factitious cheilitis is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Distinguishing factitious cheilitis from other lip disorders prevents misdiagnosis and ineffective treatments.
    • Understanding the psychological component is key to managing this condition effectively.
