The term mid-face toddler excoriation syndrome (MiTES) has been proposed to describe a rare condition that arises in infancy as is characterized by self-inflicted excoriations. It is considered to be a milder variant of hereditary sensory-autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) type VIII. We present an 8-year-old boy with lesions on the mid-face that were admittedly self-induced and associated with an abnormally high pain threshold. The diagnosis and management of MiTES is reviewed.
