Leukoplakia is a white patch or plaque that forms on the mucous membranes of the mouth. It's often caused by irritation, such as tobacco use or other sources of friction in the mouth. Leukoplakia can sometimes be precancerous, so it's important to have any persistent white patches in the mouth evaluated by a healthcare professional, preferably a dentist or oral surgeon.
However, there are other conditions that can cause white patches or lesions in the mouth as well, such as oral thrush (a fungal infection), lichen planus, and other oral lesions. It's important to have a professional evaluation to determine the exact cause of the white patch and to receive appropriate treatment if needed.
If you've already tried over-the-counter treatments and haven't seen improvement, it's a good idea to consult a dentist or oral surgeon for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. They may recommend a biopsy to rule out any serious underlying conditions. Remember that only a qualified healthcare professional can provide a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan based on your specific situation.

From the very first look. It appears as a cheek bite.. So needed more history for that.. Is it present on both side. Is it painful in nature.. And also need to have biopsy in cases where history is not clear. Don't worry. Consult

As per pics, looks normal.
Whiteness in inner cheek is most probably because of friction from adjacent tooth/cheek bite.
Any pain,irritation or burning sensation?
If any of these symptoms, better Visit a local dentist/Oral medicine specialist for physical evaluation and treatment (as required)
