Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

As per history given,it appears you have developed lesion, due to cheek biting.Many people have this habit but you should try to avoid it.

you can do antiseptic mouth rinsing first and then apply dologel on the lesion for a week,(to be applied locally) thrice daily.

you can do this for a week and see the results, if it still persists then might be a tooth decay.In that case you must see your dentist for clinical evaluation.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care.
