szájkaron

Szájkaron is a Hungarian term referring to a type of minor injury or abrasion to the skin around the mouth. It is commonly caused by friction, such as from a pacifier in infants, or from rubbing the lips and surrounding skin. In children, it can also be a result of prolonged pacifier use or thumb sucking. The term literally translates to "mouth scratch" or "mouth abrasion."

These lesions are typically superficial and characterized by redness and slight irritation. They usually heal quickly on their own without specific medical intervention. Maintaining good hygiene in the affected area can aid in the healing process. In some instances, if the irritation is persistent or severe, a doctor might recommend a mild protective ointment to prevent further chafing and promote healing. Szájkaron is not considered a serious medical condition.
