Dry Chapped Lips With Bruise. Need To See A Doctor?
I have chapped and very dry lips . I used a paper towel to wipe my lps today, and an hour later i have a bruise on my lower right corner of my lip. May not be concerned because weather drys my lips, but the last few years it seems that if I bump my arms I bruise easy. Mainly my right side. Should I be worried, and need to see a doctor?

Hi, you are having cheilitis. It may be due to sun, nutritional deficiency, riboflavin deficiency, iron deficiency, zink deficiency, irritatation, allergy etc.. Remove the cause and apply alovera or glycerin containing cream. You will feel better ... However you consult nearby dermatologist.. Ok
