Three years ago I under went Chemotherapy treatment and one year of herceptin for breast cancer. I'm a survivor and doing ok. Since then I am experiencing, chemobrain, diabetes II, high blood pressure, and yes I am overweight and a woman 49 yrs old. But my inner lips in my mouth always seem scaley and dry. I am constently chewing on my inner lip because the roughness I feel about it. Where is this coming from? I've never had it before.

HI
Well come to HCM
Stop chewing the lip because this is the only reason for your lip lesion and nothing else as you go on chewing your lip for dryness as the lesion would go more dry, this is kind of vicious cycle that takes place, but you can forger it this easily if you could wish for this, take care.
