Could The White Patch On Cheek With Numbness Be Indicative Of Cancer?
I have white patch in the right side of cheek and now a days i am feeling numbness in the cheek and stress / tightness in neck muscles. I am a 30 yr. old female with a habit of chewing gutka. Sometimes i feel like something is sticky in neck but don't have any pain anywhere. Is it oral cancer ??

The white lesion can be leukoplakia which us a potentially malignant lesion or oral cavity cancer. Gutka puts you at high risk for oral cavity cancer.
You need to see your ENT specialist for a complete clinical examination and a biopsy of the white lesion.
Please discuss it with your doctor
