Shedding question

My leo has a small bit of unshed skin (2mm wide) on her bottom lip. I want to know if this is something serious i need to try to remove (I dont want to turn her into a biter) or if it should just come off during her next shed. She last shed 2 weeks ago and I just noticed it and she hasn't seemed to be bothered by it.
Thanks

You can moisten paper towels in the bottom of the tank to add a little extra humidity for the day and then if your gecko doesn't get it off you can gently pull it off without hurting it. You could also soak it in tepid water as an alternative. Just make sure the water is slightly cool to the touch, around 92F.

Just today my leopard gecko shed last night and she hadn't eaten part of it so I kind of was concerned so I open the shedding box and she still had shed all of her head, half on half off, so all I did was grab the tweesers and give a little tug, like itty bitty to let her know I was their, and then she did the rest and pulled out of it, all I did was hold it in place she did the pulling
