Oral mucosa keratosis!
Why can this keratosis be happening? I am really worried about dysplasia or cancer. I dont do tobacco or smoking, occasional alcohol(once twice a year). Initially started woth pigmentation, when pigmentation went this kind of roughness came up, dermatologists said its OLP but many dentists said its normal melanosis.. But why this roughness? I had a physical contact 3 months back with a girl only kiss, idk bt she had some health issue last year blood infection maybe due to which she was on steroids for a year. I am really scared abt STD too, we're not in talking terms hence cant knw d reason! Apart from that i have already tried kenacort, caziQ all, nothing works, i mean after using it my condition worsened. So first pigmentation occurs and then roughness follows after pigmentation is gone, sometimes dry tongue as well. Please help me :( In lips also u can see encircled that area is turning pale and rough like buccal mucosa :(. Help me!

After looking at attached photographs it seems normal and healthy, but still if have issues then consult doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options. Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, Try to maintain good oral hygiene, use mouthwash. Drink more water.

Seems healthy. These are physiological pigmentation, nothing to worry about it.
