Reappearance of a white patch at the same site after surgery can happen, especially if it was leukoplakia or frictional keratosis earlier. Absence of burning or pain is reassuring, but any recurrent white patch should be examined.
I recommend a clinical evaluation and review of the previous biopsy report. If the patch persists or changes, a repeat biopsy may be needed to rule out recurrence or dysplasia. Avoid tobacco, smoking, and local irritation.
