Is it leukoplakia

2024-06-07 02:42:58
I have a small white patch on the inner lip. I noticed it two days ago. This morning, I tried to scrape it off and almost 80% of it got cleared. I have been reading online about it being leukoplakia and how it is a precancerous condition. Worried ! I was a smoker and quit two weeks ago. 27(M)

No it’s not leukoplakia. For proper diagnosis need to do intra oral examination. Don’t worry. Just go to a dentist and get the diagnosis . Google has lot of information . Don’t think of worse outcome and worry urself unnecessary.
