A member asked:
If you have hepatitis b can that cause severe chapped lip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hepatitis B: First. Are you sure you have hepatitis b? Vaccines for this were given to babies in the United States starting in 1984. Second: chapped lips would not in any way be a sign of hepatitis b infection. And third: if you really are infected with hepatitis b didn't you clear it like most do. Or are you on the right treatment for it?
