Hello doctor,I am 23 years old. I have started consuming gutkha/pan masala one year before but not consistently. Today, I noticed a small white spot beneath my tongue and a white area inside my cheek. I am very much worried about this. Please help me.
Hi. It must be the tobacco pouch keratosis. That means your mouth has started reacting to it. At this stage, if you leave it, it will heal and there will be no problem but in case you continue, it may lead to the leukoplakia which has high potential to transfer into cancer. Leave tobacco chewing this time, you will be happy. Otherwise, it may be dangerous in the future. Also, take a multivitamin and eat carrots one or two daily. You will be fine in three to four months. For more information consult a dentist online  Take care.
