[|Human|] on the inside of my cheek i have to round white patches which is making me so uncomfortable during meal times and while brushing my mouth. its been there for over a week now.  there is also one red sore on the left edge of my tongue opposite to the white patches . I thought it would heal by itself but it doesnt seem. what can I do about it. ( Im 28 and a man.) Thank you.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The white patch could be because of the chronic irritation by the teeth to the cheek(frictional keratitis or irrational fibrous). Or it can be lichen plans or leukoplakia or candidiasis. The soreness over the tongue could be a traumatic ulcer, or it can be authors ulcer. Consult a good oral physician to rule out these two conditions. If it is candidiasis then you have to take topical antifungal like candid mouth paint. If it is leukoplakia, you have to stop the habit of smoking and take antioxidants like capsule lycopene. If it is lichen plans then you have to take topical steroids like triamcinolone acetone (0.1%) 4-5times daily for 1 week. You can also take topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel for the pain. If it is frictional keratitis or traumatic ulcer you have to treat the cause by reducing the sharp usual edges of the teeth which are causing trauma. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
