Hello friend If it’s diagnosed as SMF The grey bands are because of that Even in this there is different grades Since you have given up Pan Parag it’s the best what you have done Next stop green chillies Hot coffee and tea Start with SM fibro tablet Antoxide If smoking Pls stop There will be no malignancy changes

OSMF itself will cause grey patches and is not because of steriods. Oral sub mucus fibrosis comes u der pre- malignant condition ( ie if it's left untreated or if the habit is continued high chances it will turn into malignancy ).
Next Steps
You should be under regular follow-up  with your specialist  untill the lesion resolves.
Health Tips
Quit the habit completely. Never start it again in future. Have your medicines regularly. Have a well balanced diet.

Hi, Yes in OSMF condition you will see grey patches on the buccal mucosa. Its not because of steroids intake. Do you have pain in mouth opening and difficulty in having spicy food??? Your mouth opening is restricted or its normal ? Attach your oral cavity image for appropriate treatment plan. For detail discussion contact on personal chat box.
Next Steps
Visit dentist for clinical examination
Health Tips
Quit smoking and pan masala if you still do and don't eat spicy food. If your condition is moderate then only with medicine your condition can be resolved. In case of severe condition then we give injections and other treatment plan.
