Abstract

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.
