This kind of ulcer definitely needs evaluation. If you’re sure it was a tobacco burn then good you stopped the habit. But be sure never to touch tobacco again. However, if ulcers persist beyond 1 week get a biopsy done to be sure.

It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or dentist for a proper evaluation and treatment of your specific condition. Mouth sores can have various causes, and if you have a sore that is not healing and causing continuous pain, it's crucial to seek professional medical attention. Some potential reasons for mouth sores include: Trauma: Chewing tobacco or other forms of tobacco use can irritate the tissues in the mouth, leading to the formation of sores. Canker Sores: Canker sores are small, painful ulcers that can develop inside the mouth. Infections: Mouth sores can be a result of viral, bacterial, or fungal infections. Autoimmune Conditions: Certain autoimmune diseases can cause mouth sores as a symptom. Allergic Reactions: Some people may develop mouth sores as a result of allergic reactions to certain foods, medications, or dental products. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort until you can see a healthcare professional, you can try the following: Avoid Irritants: Avoiding spicy, acidic, or hot foods and beverages that can further irritate the sore. Rinse with Saltwater: Gently rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater may help soothe the sore and promote healing. Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers: Over-the-counter pain medications may provide temporary relief from pain and inflammation. Avoid Tobacco and Alcohol: If you are recovering from tobacco use, it's essential to continue refraining from its use, as it can worsen the condition. Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Continue to brush your teeth gently and floss regularly, taking care not to irritate the sore. However, I cannot stress enough the importance of seeking professional medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment. A dentist or healthcare professional can identify the cause of the sore and provide you with appropriate treatment and care. They may prescribe medications or recommend specific remedies based on your condition. If the sore is not healing or is getting worse, don't delay seeking medical attention. Prompt treatment can help prevent further complications and promote faster healing.

Hi, It is good you stopped the habit of tobacco chewing. Wait for 3 days and see if the symptoms reduce. If not, visit your dentist again.

Picture is not very clear. Please visit a local dentist/Oral medicine specialist for physical evaluation and treatment (as required). It's nice to hear that you have quit habit.

Plz don't worry First tell me do u feel difficulty in mouth opening and burning sensation in cheeks while eating spicy foods?? U have taken a good step to discontinue tobacco consumption. About that lesion - There are many oral precancerous conditions (not cancer exactly ) but it presence show a warning sign that time has come to stop habits. Continuation of habit may lead to cancerous lesion formation. Any doubt u can ask me👍
