Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son is 7 years old and has extremely dry lips. Nothing seems to help blistex, vaseline, medicated chapstic nor carmex. They crack and bleed. I thought it might be a side effect of medication that he is taking (Timolol) but I don t see how that would effect his lips. He doen t lick or bite his lips which I thought was the problem. He does have allergies (eggs and nuts) but we are sure to keep those out of his diet. Any help or guidance is greatly appriciated.
