might be due to mucosal fibrosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query and do understand your concern.
It contains tobacco and other substances are areca nut, tobacco are most potent carcinogens, this causes mucosal fibrosis which will cause difficulty in opening of the mouth, it can present from a simple ulcer to a beningn lesion. This agents cause mucosal irritation and which later leads to chronic inflammatory response.
This is confirmed by a biopsy report. I would suggest you to consult to an general Surgeon immediately and get the checkup done. On examination they may ask for biopsy.
Treatment depend upon the type of lesion this could be a simple ulcerations or allergic reaction, could also be due to bacterial and viral infection.
Now presently at home I would suggest you to avoid hot and spicy foodstuffs. I would encourage you to completely stop panparag chewing habit.
Hope this helps
Take care
