I'm really worried about my friend who used to chew tobacco a lot. Even though he stopped about four months ago, he still can't open his mouth fully. Is this normal? What can he do to improve this situation? Could there be any long-term effects even after quitting?

View allI'm dealing with OSMF III from chewing tobacco for about 5 years, and now I have patches and bands inside my cheeks. My mouth is burning the entire time, and there's a lot of saliva, but inside it's feeling dry. Lately, I've been getting these lower lip ulcers that are growing really fast and becoming big, round, and kind of see-through. Even the upper lip has started ulcerating, becoming pointed and flat, and they're really painful. I'm worried these might turn into something serious, maybe even malignant. Could you suggest any medicine that can completely heal these ulcers? It's been around 15 days since the upper lip started having this issue.

I've been having a lot of trouble with my mouth lately. My oral cavity feels like it's burning, and it's full of ulcers. There are also these white patches and bands inside my cheeks, and my mouth keeps watering heavily. It's impossible for me to eat anything spicy, even if it has zero chili. The worst part is the ulcers on my lipsthey just won't heal and seem to be spreading on both my upper and lower lips. I do chew tobacco, so I'm really worried if this might be something serious like carcinoma. Could you help me understand what's going on?
Oral cavity burning with ulcers, white patches, and bands inside the cheeks along with excessive mouth watering could be indicative of a severe condition. The unhealing ulcers on the lips, especially if growing daily, raise concerns for carcinoma due to tobacco chewing. To address the symptoms and potential underlying condition, I recommend seeking immediate medical attention for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. Treatment may include a combination of medications such as: - Topical corticosteroids like Triamcinolone dental paste for the ulcers - Antifungal medication like Nystatin oral suspension for white patches - Analgesics like Paracetamol for pain relief Additionally, it is crucial to stop tobacco use immediately to prevent further worsening of the condition and reduce the risk of carcinoma development.
