Hey hi,Since the specialists advised against a biopsy, there is no immediate cause for panic, but persistent lesions must always be monitored.
Next Steps
Stop chewing tobacco to prevent further cellular irritation. Schedule a regular, routine follow-up checkup with your surgeon in 3 to 6 months to monitor the size, shape, and texture of the lumps.
Health Tips
Maintain strict oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and using an antiseptic mouthwash. Seek professional tobacco cessation counseling or support groups if you face difficulties quitting the habit.
