Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

As per your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having linea XXXXXXX between teeth in cheeks & leukoplakia inside on lower lip . Kindly upload pictures to help you better .No need for too much concern .

Leukoplakia will diaappear if causative agent removed . Leukoplakia is not a cancer & only 5% has malignant potential if causative agent continue .

If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice
stop causative agents like tobacco &
Use multivitamin multimineral antioxidant syrup like zincovit syrup twice daily to promote healing.

You will get relief .

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOU HELPING ME OUT OF THESE TROUBLE.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for replying,

I am very much worried, and I went for a second opinion to a dentist and he said the same as you wrote, but gave a different medicine for which i have attached the photo.

Should i take the prescribed medicine or zincovit and for low long, also please let me know how may days will this take to disappear.

I am having panic strokes whenever i think of these lines or what ever they are called.

I hope these will get ok.

Thanks for your help
