Can Letrosol And Calcium Tablets Cause Blue Discolouration Around Lips?

I am a 65 year old woman and was asked by my daughter at the weekend why I have blue around the edge of my lips. I had not noticed this but took a look and I certainly do have blue edges to my lips especially in the corners of my top lip. I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in 2010 and following surgery and radiotherapy I am now taking letrosol and calcium tablets. Do I need to see my GP?

Hi,

Letrozole cannot be the cause for your blue discoloration. Due to your radiotherapy. You could have been nutrition deficient. So better to evaluate your blood.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
