Q: White Film On Lips

asked by: Alkaline on October 1st, 2005

I'm really not sure if this is the right forum, so forgive me if it's not. :d

every morning when I wake up, I have a white film on my lips. It seems the longer I sleep, the more I get. It's easy to get off after I get up, but it looks nasty. Any idea what might cause this and if it's treatable/cureable?

Thanks in advance!

It sounds to me like a case of the pasties, or more properly known as dry mouth. I would suggest not eating any foods atleast 2 hours before bed time, and drink a 500ml glass of water before bed as well. Follow that for a week, and if you still have problems then come back, post, and ill suggest something else. Btw, im not a doctor but I do research various health topics daily as it is part of my full time job to do so. So im not just full of bs if thats what your thinking. Smile

if you have any questions please email me
