[|Human|] good day. im abit concerned about my health. i chewed tobacco for 5 years and i just quit not to long ago, i say 6 weeks ago is the last time i chewed. the inside of my mouth has a lot of white patches and my throat burns. is this a sign of oral cancer? also is there a way to get rid of the white patches?
[|AI|]  White patches may indicate Leukoplakia, a potentially malignant condition. Erasmus (limited mouth opening) can be due to submucosal fibrosis due to prolong exposure to tobacco or due to a tumor which may have infiltrated the muscles and joints responsible for mouth opening. You need to see an oro-maxillofacial surgeon for a biopsy of white patches and a CT scan imaging from base of skull to root of neck. Please discuss it with your treating doctor.
