What is dry lips a sign of?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry lips: Most of the time dry lips are just that -- lips that have lost moisture because of dehydration, too much wind or too much sun. Occasionally, however, dry lips may signal a more serious condition. In children, Kawasaki's disease. Also has been associated with a deficiency of certain B vitamins. Rarely, a condition called Sjogren's can be causative. Best wishes.
