Leukoplakia
I have an leukoplakia of size 0.5cm×1cm in my right cheek. I had a habit of chewing tobbacco for 4 years, i quit it in 2013 and started smoking. I found this white patch month ago after resuming my smoking habit for 2 months. I quit smoking in 2020 july. Went to a oral and maxilofacial surgeon, he said biopsy is required and prescribed vitamin a Aquasol medicine for one month. 3 weeks gone, no changes in patch. Its increasing though. I m getting married within 2 months and getting anxiety thinking about the consequence of getting cancer. Biopsy is not done yet.
I will quit everything, all tobacco and alcohol. Can i live a normal life? I need your suggestion Drs. I have no pain in eating, but always feeling stressed thinking about it. Please help me.
