Who Are Mostly Affected by Lip Licker’s Dermatitis?
Lip licker’s dermatitis may affect anyone. However, the risk is higher in children or adults with cognitive impairments because they tend to have difficulty controlling impulsive behaviors, such as lip licking. Many people also lick their lips as a way to relieve nervousness or anxiety. In both cases, excessive licking of the lips is the major risk factor for drying your lips and leading to lip licker’s dermatitis. [5]
