Hi! So from the pictures it looks like a normal variation in the buccal mucosa, I need a few more answers as to how long have these lesions been bothering you and whether you have any habits? Plus just in case it is lichen planus which is unlikely we might need a swab from that area just to check in lab to rule out any possibility.
