Regarding white patches in my cheeks

2017-07-24 09:48:38
I have some small white patches or excessive growth of skin in my lips and my inner cheeks ... I heard that it's leukoplakia ... It doesn't hurt or anything.. I have tried some gels but it still isn't going away... I request you to kindly advise me the necessary actions to take for the issue to be resolved ... And also I would like to tell you ,if it matters  in this case, I sometimes smoke , bite my lips

Hi... first thing u have to quit smoking strictly... u have to keep that white patch under regular follow up as it has a higher chance of developing a malignancy.... if you are too worried about it get it excised by a maxillofacial surgeon after a biopsy
