Gums inflamation
My gum have burning sensation and slight insensitiveness only when eating spicy food. No bleeding. A white layer present. Consulted dentists they are unable to diagonise exact issue. But they say it is not gingivitis. One doctor said it might be Lichen planus / leukoplakia. I am confused now.

Firstly please be calm. This is a temporary phase. Don't take tension about it. The stress will worsen the situation. Few things are there that u should do is
1) reduce having spicy food , have bland food for few days
2) stop any habits if u have like smoking etc
3) reduce ur stress level.
4) have food at fixed timing. If working late nights make sure u have good bland food and at right time.
5) drink lots of water
6) and last but not the least SHOW IT TO A PERIODONTIST AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
