White patch on cheek due to biting, bad breath, heaviness in cheek, swollen face. Is it cancer?
Patient: firstly i bited my cheek once due to which white patch developed and its not healing , also i started bad breath, feel heaviness on left cheek , sometimes feel left face is swallen...dont know but only thing coming in my mind is i am having cancer ....i have shown to ENT and dentist and they said its ok and nothing of that sort but still i have doubts and its not going from my mind Doctor: Dear friend.  Thanks for sharing your concern.  when you have already visited ENT doctor and dentist, and they have suggested you that it is not cancer then you should be relaxed,that it is not cancer.  Now i would like to ask you why do you feel it is cancer? it has no such signs and  symptoms,which could be correlated to cancer.  you have already mentioned that it has arised from the self induced injury to cheek.  now the symptoms, that you are experiencing  like  swelling and heaviness that is just due to tissue injury and inflammation.   once the tissue repairs or heals you will feel absolutely normal.Also you must avoid this habit further.  Regarding your bad breath, that is due to improper oral hygiene or chronic sinusitis.You must rule out these too.  use antiseptic mouth wash for 15 days twice daily and look for the changes. I am sure you will be fine.  Hope it helps.  Thanks.  Take care.
