'''Lip fold dermatitis''' is a form of superficial '''[[pyoderma]]''' that occurs in the dog. As the name suggests, it most commonly occurs in the '''lip folds''', but it may occur in any skin fold on the body. The infection occurs secondary to '''irritation''', '''poor ventilation''' and '''moisture''' from tears, saliva, glandular secretions or urine. In severe cases, skin and subcutis may slough.
