Hello,
With the question “What is the cause of dry lips in men? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
With dry skin symptoms that have been used topically for more than 1 month, it may be related to skin diseases. You should see a dermatologist for an examination, blood test or skin biopsy if in doubt. Once an accurate diagnosis is made, appropriate treatment will be available.
If you still have questions about men with dry lips, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
