Buildup on lips - Skin Problems Message Board

Hi I get a buildup of gunk on my lips. I don't wear lipstick or heavy chapstick. Just sheer glosses and some lip protectant. I have to use a steaming hot cloth atleast twice a day to put on my lips to lift all the skin and gunk up. I have had this problem for about 5 years now and wonder if anyone knows a permanent way to get this to stop. Thanks

Hmmm - I get this in the morning after sleeping, but not during the day.

Do you drink enough fluids? I find stuff tends to build up on my lips when I don't have enough moisture in my mouth/body.

Just a thought.
