Commonly misdiagnosed as a stomatitis, this problem is a secondary to [[Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease|MBD]]. This condition results from exposure of the gingiva, secondary to a malformation due to MBD, which allows tissue to become inflamed. The exposed oral mucosa is not generally infected.
*'''Clinical signs''' include other signs of [[Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease|MBD]] and gingivitis.
*'''Diagnosis''' - history, clinical examination, and microscopy, culture and sensitivity (if thought necessary).
*'''Treatment''' - frequent gentle cleaning with a cotton-bud generally controls this problem; application of lip balm may help in some cases.
*'''Prevention''' - appropriate [[Lizard Husbandry Requirements|husbandry]] and [[Lizard Diet|diet]].
