| Abstract: |
A 22 year-old man was referred to our Department for evaluation of white hyperkeratotic multiple flakes, together with tiny erosions localized on both cheeks. Detailed medical history and clinical examination revealed habitual cheek biting as a result of a bad habit, which was manifest with a typical clinical finding. During treatment we applied a combination of salycil acid and corticosteroids as well as vitamin A drops and the patient was advised to stop the bad habit, and to take sedatives during states of nervousness. The therapy resulted in complete regression of the lesions. |
