“…It is considered as a neonatal screening tool [1][2]. Although it has been described in various neonatology and pediatric textbooks, there was limited literature found in the review of the reported literature [1][2]. We report two newborns who presented with sucking pads following various unsuccessful treatments for this benign condition.…”

“…It is described as a combination of intracellular edema and hyperkeratotic thickening of the lips [1]. It occurs at the inner aspect of the vermillion border of the lips of the newborn due to friction in terms of effective sucking [2]. The baby first develops sucking reflex at the gestational age of 25 weeks in utero as a result of a primitive sucking reflex which is mediated by the brainstem [2].…”

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.

Neonatal suckling blisters usually present as benign skin erosions involving the distal upper extremities at birth presumably induced by vigorous sucking in utero, whereas sucking pads commonly appear as hyperkeratotic thickening of the lips indicating effective neonatal sucking reflex. These benign neonatal conditions should be differentiated from other serious systemic and dermatological diseases in newborns through their clinical manifestations and self-limited course. Here, we report a 24 hour old male newborn with a sucking blister and sucking pads present at birth coexisting simultaneously, diagnosed based on the presentation and benign course. A high index of clinical suspicion is required to avoid unnecessary investigations and treatment.
