sores on lips

My lips are so dry!!I've been using a ton of carmex on then to no avail, now I have sores on my lips also, I called my dr. and they perscribed a medicine thats for impetigo.  My hep. dr called me and my hemo was 9.7had to go in for procrit.  Could it be the low hemo causing my lip problem?  I have my vaporizer on 24/7.

I'm not sure what causes the dryness or the lip sores. Sounds like you are doing what you can - lip balm, humidifier. Drink tons of water.

Make sure you are drinking plenty of water.  Our lips tend to show first signs of dehydration.  Good luck.
