Herpes labialis: a rare clinical image
Abstract
Herpes labialis is a rash of the skin and mucous membranes (particularly the lips) and is characterized by erythema and blisters that are preceded and accompanied by burning pain. We present a case of a 21-year-old male who comes to the emergency department with a complaint of sore throat and fever for ten days. On the patient´s physical examination, the upper and lower lips showed redness with a white patch, and histopathological examination suggested herpes labialis. The patient was referred to the dermatological department for further management.
