I See A White Patch Way In Back Of My
Question: I see a white patch way in back of my mouth on inside of cheek. What is this, and should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Can you upload an image for review?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
So sorry to hear about this white spot and all the inconvenience this might have caused you. Best way to help is by reviewing an image. I will suggest you upload one to me directly or send to YYYY@YYYY and they will get to me.
In most cases, these patches are benign and disappear with brushing. The most common pathological cause is oral candidiasis but it generally develops in a weakened immune system or regular steroids inhalation without proper rinsing of mouth.
In all, please send the image for review at first.
Not to worry, let me have a look into it in details to assist you specifically at this time.
Hope to hear back from you!
Regards

I can%E2%80%99t take a picture as it is too far back, but I have looked several times since this morning and now I only see in a little bit. Would it have gone away that quickly?
Brief Answer:
All the more likely to have been a simple patch!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This might have been a food particle, milk, etc. No need to worry any further. Rapid disappearance confirms its non pathological nature.
I wish you well.

I just looked again. Now all I see is a little white line, but there is a red dot right near it. Just a little dot. Will this eventually go away on its own?
