Can Atorvastatin Cause Severe Skin Dryness?
Can Atorvastatin cause extremely dry skin. Since I began taking this medication in February, I have dry patches of skin on my eyelids, around and in my ears to the point that I have cracked places that scab over. I didn t have this problem until after I started taking the medication.
