Lip plumper contact urticaria.
Lip plumpers are relatively new topical agents on the market that are designed to increase lip volume minutes to days after application. In this report, we describe a case of lip plumper contact urticaria in a young boy. We also discuss the mechanisms of action of lip plumpers and the sociocultural reasons for their use.
