It is common to have cracked or dry lips during winters or with a habit of licking the lips frequently. But, people who lack enough iron can suffer from a specific type of cracking called “Angular Cheilitis” that affects the corners of the mouth. This makes it difficult to eat, smile or even talk.

Dry lips may be a symptom of iron deficiency. When the body lacks enough iron, it struggles to transport oxygen to various parts of the body, including the lips. Low iron levels may also contribute to an irregular heartbeat and cold hands and feet. Other symptoms of iron deficiency include shortness of breath and cramping in the muscles.

If you've noticed unusual symptoms, the first thing to do is visit a doctor. Your doctor can perform some tests to rule out other conditions. They can also order a blood test to check your ferritin levels. The tests will help determine the severity of your iron deficiency. Afterward, your doctor can prescribe appropriate iron supplements.

 

Anemia causes your body to produce fewer healthy red blood cells. These red blood cells are vital to delivering oxygen to the body's tissues. There are multiple types of anemia, ranging from mild to severe. The most common form is iron-deficiency anemia. This condition can cause a variety of oral manifestations, including dry lips. Dry lips can affect your general health, preventing you from chewing and speaking normally.

 

If you're suffering from dry lips, you should consider your diet. A poor diet may cause your lips to become dry and chapped. Your lips may also be sensitive to certain medications and other conditions, including certain vitamins and minerals. Biotin can be helpful in combating dry lips. You should take at least 30 micrograms of biotin daily for adults.


겨울철에 입술이 갈라지거나 건조해지거나 입술을 자주 핥는 습관이 있는 경우가 많습니다. 그러나 철분이 부족한 사람들은 입가에 영향을 미치는 "각성 구순염(Angular Cheilitis)"이라는 특정 유형의 균열로 고통받을 수 있습니다. 이것은 먹거나 웃거나 말하는 것조차 어렵게 만듭니다.


건조한 입술은 철분 결핍의 증상일 수 있습니다. 신체에 충분한 철분이 부족하면 입술을 포함한 신체의 여러 부분으로 산소를 운반하는 데 어려움을 겪습니다. 낮은 철분 수치는 불규칙한 심장 박동과 차가운 손과 발의 원인이 될 수도 있습니다. 철 결핍의 다른 증상으로는 숨가쁨과 근육 경련이 있습니다.

비정상적인 증상을 발견했다면 가장 먼저 할 일은 의사를 방문하는 것입니다. 의사는 다른 상태를 배제하기 위해 몇 가지 검사를 수행할 수 있습니다. 또한 페리틴 수치를 확인하기 위해 혈액 검사를 주문할 수도 있습니다. 이 검사는 철분 결핍의 심각성을 결정하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 그 후에 의사는 적절한 철분 보충제를 처방할 수 있습니다.

빈혈은 신체가 건강한 적혈구를 적게 생성하게 합니다. 이 적혈구는 신체 조직에 산소를 전달하는 데 중요합니다. 경증에서 중증까지 다양한 유형의 빈혈이 있습니다. 가장 흔한 형태는 철 결핍성 빈혈입니다. 이 상태는 건조한 입술을 포함하여 다양한 구강 증상을 유발할 수 있습니다. 건조한 입술은 일반적인 건강에 영향을 주어 정상적으로 씹고 말하는 것을 방해할 수 있습니다.

건조한 입술로 고민하고 있다면 식단을 고려해야 한다. 잘못된 식단은 입술을 건조하고 갈라지게 할 수 있습니다. 입술은 또한 특정 비타민과 미네랄을 포함한 특정 약물 및 기타 상태에 민감할 수 있습니다. 비오틴은 건조한 입술 퇴치에 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 성인의 경우 매일 최소 30마이크로그램의 비오틴을 섭취해야 합니다.
