Posted on Sat, 5 Sep 2015

Question: Hello Doctor,
I have been having linea XXXXXXX as per dentist but somebody told me this is leukoplakia, now since Tuesday night, I can feel something is there in my cheek just above the linea XXXXXXX but this goes and comes back kind of feeling(on the left cheek) that I am having which is bothering me a lot, I can feel it when I touch it with my finger, this started after I had pizza on Tuesday evening, I have attached the photographs for you to analyze if something is wrong with me.
I tried to search google and the responses were very negative and they are creating panic in me and making me restless always.
Also, I am put under multivitamins for the linea XXXXXXX I am really nervous and seek your kind advise
I was a active smoker and have reduced it to just one in a day.
I need help!

Brief Answer:
Seems to be Linea XXXXXXX and mild patch of Leukoplakia.

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain and the images that you have uploaded [although not very clear] you definitely have LINEA XXXXXXX while as far as LEUKOPLAKIA is concerned I can only see very mild patch over the inner cheek on the left side and as you are a Chronic Smoker the patch is due to it, but there is nothing that you have to be worried about..

First of all JUST RELAX..

Now lets talk about the treatment..

1. QUIT SMOKING COMPLETELY..
Once the irritating factor will be completely eliminated slowly the patches will start resolving and you will be perfectly fine..

2.Continue taking one multivitamin tablet daily for atleast 2 months.

3.Take an anti-oxidant capsule daily like LYCOPENE for two months..

That's all what you need right now and once you completely quit smoking the patches will resolve completely and you have nothing to worry for even right now..

For Linea XXXXXXX no treatment is needed and only the cause has to be treated like cheek biting habit which can be related to stress..
Once the cause is removed it will gradually resolve itself..
So better stay stress free and prevent cheek biting habit..
In case if you cannot control it you can consult a dentist and get evaluated.
The dentist can fabricate a mouth guard and wearing it will prevent cheek biting and gradually Linea XXXXXXX will resolve..

As much as possible control your stress and anxiety related to your mouth problems as you do not have anything serious..
Meditation and Yoga can further help..

Wishing you quick recovery and a good health..

Write me back if you have any further query..

Thanks and regards..

Dear Doctor,

I wrote about something which is there in my cheek, I don't know what that is, its kind of small dot, I uploaded the picture with one of y figure pointing at that, though I cannot see it but feel it, its just a dot.

I am attaching the prescription and some other photo graphs for you to evaluate more on my problem.

As you wrote, yes I am always in stress and, I remember biting my cheek some 10 days back while eating, but I don't bite always.

The medicine which I am taking right now is also attached herewith, please also suggest that should I start taking the recommendation you suggested.

How can I get rid of these issues from my head that I don't have any problem, as I read a lot of journals online.

Your advice will be really appreciated

Thanks

Brief Answer:
You are on correct medication.

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome Again..

As per your query you are taking SM-Fibro which is an anti-oxidant composition and it is a correct medicine.
Along with it take also start taking a multivitamin tablet like Zincovit, one tablet daily..

Rest nothing else is needed as of now..

The red dot that you are feeling an as can be seen in the image is nothing serious but a canker sore or an apthous ulcer and as you continue taking the multivitamin it will resolve on its own and no special treatment is needed for it..

The main problem that is going on with you is the feeling of having some problem in your mouth..

My dear friend you should leave all the worries aside as you have nothing to be worried for.
Just starting thinking positive and if possible you can join some Yoga class where you can do some breathing exercises and meditation that will relax your mind..
Engage yourself in your work and activities of your choice, spend time with family and friends..

In case if still you do not find relief you need to consult a Psychiatrist, but I must tell you that you are perfectly al-right and you can live a normal and happy life without any tension..

Wish you all the best..

Any further query is whole heartedly invited..

Thanks and regards..

Dear Doctor,

Thank you very much for your reply and appreciate your kind gesture.

Very frankly after reading articles online, my life has gone for a toss, though I have associated my self with an organization call art of living and have been doing the course and going for regular follow ups.

What is bothering are the rough lines in my mouth, I hope you understand the anxiety that I am goin through.

Above all than you for replying

Brief Answer:
Rough lines are LINEA XXXXXXX and are completely harmless..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome again..

I can understand your concern but you need not be be worried about the rough lines in your mouth as they are linea XXXXXXX and are completely harmless and they can even persist for weeks and months but can resolve well without treatment..

I have seen a large number of patients in my clinical practice having Linea XXXXXXX and none of them ever had any serious problem due to it and even you have nothing serious..

Reading journals is not a bad thing but as in the journals or even on internet the information provided is not everything that is applicable to you and you cannot correlate everything with your condition..

As you might not be having complete understanding of the conditions that you read in journals it may make you worrisome and you can misunderstand the information..

Better trust me as I will provide you correct information that is beneficial for you.

You are associated with Art of Living and it is really a good thing and better take benefit from it.

Make new friends, do things that you love the most, spend time with family and friends and try to live in peace..

ALL THE BEST.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
