Hi,

Leukoplakia is a precancerous lesion, however, if treated on time and the causative factor is removed it does not turn into cancer.

The treatment is generally with multivitamins and antioxidants and that you are already taking and should continue for at least 3 months.

Also, completely avoid smoking, tobacco and alcohol.

If it doesn't improve ozone treatment and surgery can be done. It is better to once consult an Oral Surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
