Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have reviewed your reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). The lesion is quite significant. There is a third molar also present. It could be because of that infection in the third molar, and vitamin E therapy will certainly work.

Do you have any other dental history or any medical issues? Do not worry. Nothing to be anxious about, but the lesion looks like a recurrent ulcer that needs multiple treatment strategies. Have you ever had deep dental cleaning or any other medications? Because according to you, it is only from four to five months. Vitamin E and Chlorhexidine will work, but I want to know your medical and dental history first.

I hope this information will help.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I am enclosing a list of measures, and please follow them. If this lesion persists past one week, please go for an in-clinic check-up. As long as the bump does not grow large, there is no need for a biopsy. Follow these measures and see if the bump is reducing over time. Any lesion that persists past one week should be checked for consistency by an oral surgeon in the clinic.

However, because you say this bump has been on and off over the last few months, it looks like a mild recurring cyst or pus lesion. If it persists past one week or recurs again, ideally, please go for a check-up, get deep dental scaling of all teeth from the dentist, and extraction of the lower third molar as pericoronitis infections also lead to cysts.

I hope this information will help.

Thanks.

Yes, follow these measures.

Daily Chlorhexidine, vitamin C after breakfast, vitamin E application, or Evion 40 mg, you must puncture and apply onto the retromolar area where you get the bump. These are preventive measures to prevent bumps from coming again. Otherwise, if you notice the bump is back, go to an oral surgeon. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, rice, roti, whatever you want. Just make sure you avoid hot temperatures or too spicy peppers or foods. Do salt water rinsing several times a day along with mouth washing and vitamin E? If you follow these measures, the bump is unlikely to recur because vitamins E and C are anticancer agents, and if the bump is not white or hard, do not take tension. Consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this information will help.

Thanks.
