Leukoplakia and bump

2020-03-06 14:24:18
I have a white patch since a week on cheek. Dentist said that this is due to trauma by teeth. I also have a small bump on hard palate since 1 month. I used to smoke occasionally since 3 yrs 1-2 times a month. Is this something to be concerned about?

Please stop smoking. Picture shows mucosal changes probably due to smoking. Consult a Surgical Oncologist for clinical examination. Multivitamins should help. If suspicious then it will require biopsy.
