TREATMENT

•  Bacterial Dental prophylaxis - Daily cleansing of the lip folds with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide shampoo until the condition improves followed by maintenance cleansing every 2 to 5 days. Surgical extirpation of the folds to remove a lateral lip fold an elliptical skin incision encompassing all infected tissue and a margin of healthy tissue is made around the fold.                                          
• The dermis and subcutaneous tissues are under­mined to remove all involved tissue.
• The lateral lip fold is incised covering the infected tissue and a margin of healthy tissue. After removing the fold the edges of the wound are undermined to allow skin apposition to the mucocutaneous border without tension.
