White/dead Skin Coming Off Lips With Lots Of Sleep In Eyes

Lately I've had white/dead skin coming off my lips a lot and loads of sleep in my eye during day and at night. Also recently got a huge lump in my lower lip, not like a zit but like a swollen/hard ball in my lip about 1cm ball shape. What could this be??

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You might be suffering from hypothyroidism.

Please get your T3 T4 TSH levels checked.

Dryness and chapping of lips is common in this condition

Later on infection develops leading to formation of boils.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
