Being an oral medicine specialist,I shall like you to visit the same specialist in your nearby are,intralesional injections of placenta ac and dexa should help,but kindly do remember that it’s a very long term treatment and quitting of habit is very important,If these treatment strategies donot work,then consult an oral surgeon for lasers.

Consult oral pathologist or oral surgeon to know the severity. They are best to answer this after a thorough clinical examination and patient medical history record. Normal mouth opening ranges from 40 to 74 mm in males
