[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. White patches inside mouth near wisdom tooth area that are not scrapable and is probably due to biting of the area can be due to Frictional Keratitis that is a harmless overproduction of keratin layer over the mucosa as a protective phenomenon to prevent damage to mucosa with the friction and chemicals. Other cause can be leukoplakia, that is also over production of Keratin, but there is also disturbance in cells known as cell dysplasia. I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and investigations like Biopsy can be done for diagnosis. In case if it is due to Frictional Keratitis it will get resolved on its own once the tobacco intake is stopped. In case of leukoplakia you can be advised Multivitamins and anti oxidants like Lycopene for at least 2 to 3 months. It also gets resolved if the causative factor that is the biting is resolved It can be done by extraction of wisdom teeth. Hope this helps.
