Can Accutane cause permanent dry lips?

Balto18
I have been off of accutane for 8 months now and my lips are still severely dry. I used to never ever have dry lips prior to taking accutane but now they get so dry that they will crack and bleed. I was told that the dry lips symptoms would go away once I stopped taking accutane but there has been no improvement in my lips. Is there a chance that whatever natural mechanisms that used to keep my lips normally moisturized will never recover because of the accutane?
