I've noticed that I have this soft lump inside my cheek, but it doesn't hurt. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if it's something I should be worried about. Could it be serious or just something harmless?

Could be a benign condition such as a mucocele or a fibroma. These are usually harmless but it is recommended to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis. You can use over-the-counter pain relief medications like acetaminophen for any discomfort.

I'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'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?
he might be having trismus, kindly refer to near by surgeon as soon as posible
