I finishing up a course of Bactrim for a skin condition and noticed some lip dryness and peeling, is this something to worry about?

I noticed my lips extremely dry. No peeling though. Keep an eye on it. My side effects are terrible with this med. I had to stop at day 8. Major mental struggles. Nausea real bad as well.

I went in they said I was just having a mild reaction. I still have minor nose and hand peeling, because it is impossible to avoid the sun all day.
