Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for consulting Healthcare magic .
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query .

Read your query and gone through reports you have attached as far as I have observed in image there is inflammation of buccal mucosa (cheek ) it can be habit induced ( chewing tobacco ) , take Hot and spicy food or Nutritional deficiency .

There is nothing to be worried so much for this I will suggest firstly to quit your habit of chewing tobacco and taking alcohol.
-secondly you can apply ointment like triamcinolone acetonide buccal paste on cheek and you can take Vitamin B supplement with folic acid by consulting with your local doctor .
- Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and use mouthwash like Chlorhexidine regularly .
- Do warm saline rinses atleast once daily.

If symptoms persists aforementioned then consult oral surgeon for clinical examination and evaluation .

Hope I have answered your query .
If you have further query I will be happy to help.
