Why is there itching inside my mouth ?
Patient: a few days back i consulted two Dentist regarding thickness on my inner cheek after biting over and over. i am damm worried about this. A DR. (MDS) has said nothing to worry about. but i am still feeling certain itching there not always but when i am worried. Although there is no change in in shape and color of it. Is itching normal please answer. Doctor: hi rakesh, Due to repeated biting on the cheek there occurs this "linea alba" which is a very common finding. Now as in your case due to repeated biting it seems that some fibrosis has occured which you can feel as thickening. If its very small in size and almost constant in texture then there is no need to worry and this itching will subseqently subside if you are no longer in habit of biting. Till then you can start with frequent gargles with betadine after diluting it with water.
