My sister has been dealing with white patches on both sides of her lower lips, around 2 cm each, for the past 3 years. We've tried treatments but nothing worked, and now the doctor is suggesting surgery. She's really upset because it's affecting her confidence and even marriage prospects. Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat these white patches?
