Dead Skin Build Up Inside Cheeks. Remedy?

Hi, I have been experiencing a problem with the inside of my lips/cheeks. Every now and then I seem to get (what seems to be) a dead skin build up and I have a nasty habit of lightly chewing (well more like biting and picking at with my teeth ) these problem areas. I can t tell if my chewing starts the build up or if the build up starts and then I start chewing. The feeling is not nice and I m worried that it is some sort of minor skin infection or something. Please help.
