What are the possible causes of red patches inside the cheek?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the lesion, and because the photo (attachment removed for patient identity protection) is without any flash, you will have to tell me whether this sandpaper feeling you are having is throughout the inside of the cheek. Also, when was the last dental visit you had?

Have you had any dental procedures or filled teeth in the upper or lower teeth?

Not all lesions are precancerous or cancerous; most are inflammatory and harmless. If you let me know how you feel, the extent of the lesion when you touch your tongue, and your past dental history, I will suggest remedies after I diagnose. You should probably start rinsing your mouth with Chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash at night, and lukewarm salt water five to seven times which will help. However, these are insufficient to remove the lesion, and for any topical or oral application, I need to diagnose you first.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

That was a good explanation. It certainly helped. I got an idea now. When did you get this fungal rash on your neck?

You observed this lesion also post this infection only, right?

I want to know which cream you are applying to your neck. I will suggest and change accordingly to eliminate both infections simultaneously if they are interlinked.

I know quitting smoking would be challenging, but that makes you more predisposed to develop precancer lesions quickly. I have an effective remedy that I can give you, but you need to reduce the number of smokes at least every day.

Please tell me the brand of the anti-fungal gel you are using and when did this rash on the neck occur?

Thank you.
