Hello Sir.
It can be OSMF since you have chewing habit.
As you have consulted some dentists before I guess you already is aware of the treatment.
Next Steps
1.Kindly stop your habit.
2.Usually once habit stops you will be better in 3- 6 months.but if you feel things are worsening then you will have to consult in person as clinical examination will help to know exact situation.
3.Kindly don't panic.stress can affect your overall health.
