What Causes Dry Lips And Marks On The Back, While On Zenatane?

my son is on zenatane 40 mg, and its been a couple months he goes back this Friday. He does have the very dry lips. On his back I am just seeing weird marks tiny pencil sizes pots with squiggly lint to the next spot look like tiny bruising? It is in a pattern, and said he did not get hit.
