Cracking, Peeling Lips and Sad, Droopy Eyes
This is a classic example of Kawasaki Disease. The eyes aren't red anymore, but they continue to droop and give that tired appearance. Notice how the lips are cracked and bleeding, as well as peeling the top layer of skin. Vaseline, seen used here, is great relief for the painful lips.

Layers of Skin on the Fingers, Hands and Feet Peel
In this picture, you can see the layers of skin have started peeling from the hands. If the child has not been diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease, it is very helpful in making the diagnosis. Children hospitalized and treated with IVIG and aspirin before this stage, generally have a better chance of having no heart problems.
