What are the causes of lip ulcers or erosions?
The most common are squamous cell carcinoma and Herpes labialis. Carcinoma usually presents as a
solitary, nontender, and firm ulcer involving the lip; Herpes labialis, on the other hand, results in a cluster
(herpes means indeed “cluster” in Greek) of tender vesicles and erosions.
