Does chapped lips mean dehydrated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Chapped lips may be a sign of mouth-breathing, as happens when you have a cold. They could be a result of sun exposure or wind burn. They could be a result of irritation from skin care products that you are using in the area. And sometimes, if you also have a dry mouth and thirst, they might be a sign of dehydration.
