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.

I've been dealing with this ulcer on my tongue and the side of my tongue for a really long time now, and its becoming a constant issue. It's kind of worrying me because it never seems to go away. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different to get rid of it?
You need to get this checked..there might be a tooth with a sharp margin constantly coming on contact with the side of you tongue causing the ulcers..please do meet a dentist and an ENT specialist asap.

I've been wondering if there's a difference between an OSMF lesion and leukoplakia. About a month ago, my doctor mentioned I had initial OSMF, and since then, most of my symptoms have disappeared. However, I still have these gray and white patches on both sides of my buccal mucosa, one being around 3 to 4 cm and the other being thinner and smaller with a gap between them. Could this be leukoplakia or is it an OSMF lesion? I'm really curious if these are the same thing or if they're different, and if they are different, which one is more concerning?
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and erythroplakia are both premalignant conditions that can develop in the mouth.The description you are suggesting doesn't fit into the diagnosis... Can you post a pic of the lesion
