Quit tobacco , It will heal but if you continue with tobacco then it may convert to leukoplakia.

Hello sir.  The photo is not clear. But pan masala is harmful and you must stop the habit. It would be better to get dental checkup done. To know what is  the dot exactly. My question is why do you think you have leukoplakia? Did a doctor confirm this ?
