I have painless, multiple, small, white lesions on the inner cheek. What are they?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I saw the picture you have attached to the complaint (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is clear that they are not ulcers. These are called Fordyce granules which are nothing but a collection of small oil glands present in the oral cavity. This is just a normal feature, but rarely seen among people. No treatment is required. I advise you not to panic because it does not lead to any form of complications mostly. But only if there is any pain or infection since you told you got a bad oral hygiene, then please visit a nearby dentist to take a biopsy. Otherwise, do not worry.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You can be very sure about not relating it to a precancerous lesion unless and otherwise making it inflamed or infectious. Please maintain good oral hygiene, which includes brushing twice daily, flossing, tongue cleaning and washing mouth after every meal. Top of all, slowly quit smoking. It is a major reason for serious oral diseases. Otherwise, you are totally fine.
