A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can evaluate: A "sleep medicine" doctor can evaluate to see what type of sleep disorder there is. Lip and perioral skin cracking, dryness, or other similar symptoms may be related to "mouth-breathing" or "lip-licking", regardless of whether or not there is uars or some other sleep disorder. Sometimes, a person makes his irritated lips worse by unknowingly using lip balm that he is allergic to.
