[2] [4] The mucosa of the lip may become fissured (cracked), crusted, ulcerated or atrophied.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infection caused by a group of enteroviruses. [10] It typically begins with a fever and feeling generally unwell . [ 10 ] This is followed a day or two later by flat discolored spots or bumps that may blister, on the hands, feet and mouth and occasionally buttocks and groin.

People with the condition usually present with a painless swelling in the area of the clavicles at 2 to 3 years of age. [9] Common features are:
Clavicle fractures are commonly known as a breaking of the collarbone, and they are usually a result of injury or trauma. The most common type of fracture occurs when a person falls vertically onto the shoulder or with an outstretched hand. A direct hit to the collarbone can also cause a break.
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) or hoof-and-mouth disease (HMD) is an infectious and sometimes fatal viral disease that primarily affects even-toed ungulates, including domestic and wild bovids. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The virus causes a high fever lasting two to six days, followed by blisters inside the mouth and near the hoof that may rupture and cause ...
