It happens that lips often become chapped.

As a result, unpleasant sensations appear. In such situations, it is important to keep hygienic lipstick on hand.

But in some situations it is a sign of health problems.

Not everyone knows that chapped and dry lips can be a sign of illness.

TV doctor Elena Malysheva spoke about this as part of the program “Live Healthy” on Channel One.

She noted that excessively dry lips can be caused by anemia and even diabetes.

In the first case, a person experiences an iron deficiency, and in the second, an excess of sugar in the blood.

All this is dangerous to health.

Therefore, if the problem bothers you too often, you should undergo an examination.

Malysheva also added that such an effect can be caused by temporary cessation of breathing during sleep. As a result, a person unconsciously begins to breathe through the mouth, not the nose.
