Could Chewing Tobacco Be The Cause Of Dry, Discolored And Circular Patch On Lip?

Hi, I have had a dry circular patch with a hint of discoloration and a little flaky and was just wondering if its just a chapped spot on my lip. I have used chewing tobbacco in the past and was just worried. If you could give me any explanation on this it would be nice. Thank you, Cody

Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Charu , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.

Dry discolored circular patch can be due to multiple conditions like some benign and malignant skin conditions.

You should not take it lightly. I will advice you to visit your doctor so that proper physical examination can be done and diagnosis can be made.

Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion , I am sure he/she will agree to my opinion.
Good Luck.
