The sucking pad is a hyperkeratotic thickening of the lips of a neonate. It might present either at birth or develop later in the neonatal period. It indicates that the child has effective sucking. We present two babies who developed the peeling of the lips during the neonatal period. It was mistreated as various conditions. Ultimately, it was diagnosed as a sucking pad, and the parents were reassured that it was a benign lesion.
吸吮垫是新生儿唇部的一种角化过度增厚现象。它可能在出生时就出现,也可能在新生儿期后期形成。这表明婴儿有有效的吸吮能力。我们报告两例在新生儿期出现唇部脱皮的婴儿。最初被误诊为多种病症。最终,诊断为吸吮垫,父母们也因得知这是一种良性病变而放心。
