Dry Chapped Lips With Bruise. Need To See A Doctor?

I have chapped and very dry lips . I used a paper towel to wipe my lps today, and an hour later i have a bruise on my lower right corner of my lip. May not be concerned because weather drys my lips, but the last few years it seems that if I bump my arms I bruise easy. Mainly my right side. Should I be worried, and need to see a doctor?
