Description

Watercolour drawing of the lips and tongue of a man aged 21. There is pustular herpetic eruption upon the lower lip, which is very much thickened, but was not indurated. At both oral angles and upon the left lateral half of the lower lip are abundant closely set pustulating herpetic vesicles, and over the rest of the lower lip are large pustulating bullae and sordes. On the upper lip is discrete pustulating herpes. On the left lateral half of the tongue anteriorly are small herpetic pustules, which appear similar to, but are smaller than those on the lips.
