Dear doctor,
I am 24 years, smoke a pack of cigarette a week(reduced, trying to quit!). I have got something unusual on my cheek(inside mouth) There is no pain feeling happening. I have visited many doctors and they say that it is nothing to worry about. But I am worried as it has been over a year since it is present on my inner cheek.
I read your post on Oral Lichen Planus and I thought you might be in better position to guide.
Please see the pictures in the attachment and give your opinion.
Thanks,
Sachin

Dear Sachin,
ReplyDeleteThe best you can do to yourself is first quit smoking. Adopt a healthy diet including natural antioxidants in form of green vegetables, lemon, fruit juice etc. If needed, you can apply local corticosteroid based ointments prescribed from Dermatologist or ENT specialist. I hope it helps you. with good wishes. DR. Ajay Jain
