I know I get build up, have had it removed at the doctors office a couple times. None of the over the counter things seem to work. Mine gets compressed in there and hard to get out. One thing I tried which seemed to help a little was using a water pik with warm water. I don’t think a doctor would approve of that but you can dial down the pressure.
