I have developed a white lesion near my third molar since last 30 days. Applying kenacort gel & gurgling with hexidine mouthwash since last 15 days. It has no pain or bleeding. I am a non smoker. Since inception it has reduced slightly as I can visualise but it doesnt completly go away. Can you advise what it is & how much time it will take to heal.

The solution remains the same for the same query. This is keratosis caused by chronic trauma.
And I will reiterate my suggestion to stop applying kenacort gel because it is a synthetic steroid and should be used under specific indications only.
