A member asked:
Why have my lips suddenly become dry or weird. could it be from accutane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accutane caused: Most patients on Accutane develop some dryness of their lips. Dry eyes and nasal tissues can also develop, along with skin that takes longer to heal from minor nicks and cuts. Use saline drops for your eyes, saline mist for your nose, and vaseline on your lips to protect from dryness.
