What Causes A Stringy Line Of White Film On The Lips?
Question: Hello doc...... Every morning when I wake up, I have found one white layer of slimy thing on my lips. Is this any characteristics of disease or it is something else to think about seriously.
Brief Answer:
Two possibilities
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
From your description either its dead skin coming off. Or it may be saliva drooling. Kindly send photo of the rash so that I am better able to help you.
Dead skin may be coming off in case of some vitamin deficiency or unhygienic food. Take cleaner drinking water, hygienic food and becosule capsule once a day.
Saliva drooling may be happening due to tooth misalignment and dentist will help.
In both cases its not a serious issue.
