Is this luekoplakia or Oral cancer?

2024-01-21 13:31:43
Dear Docs, One of my relative chews tobacco a lot and he has withdrawn the habit but since we have knowledge of its health, we checked his mouth and this is the patch we found. Is this luekoplakia or oral cancer is started. What our next steps should be? Is this worrisome.

Lesions of the mouth can be due to various factors, since your relatives chews on tobacco, we can use that as the causative agent. Treatment can only be done in person at a clinic nearby.
