Case report highlights an unusual location for congenital sucking blister lesions in newborns, indicating diagnostic importance.
Congenital sucking blisters are neonatal lesions caused by intrauterine sucking activity. We report the case of a term female newborn presenting at birth with an isolated lower-lip lesion, an exceptionally rare location for this condition. The lesion evolved into a vesicle and resolved spontaneously without treatment, supporting the clinical diagnosis of a congenital sucking blister. This case highlights the importance of considering this entity in the differential diagnosis of congenital lip lesions to avoid unnecessary investigations and interventions.
