Hello ,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query as you have white patch in mouth this can be white lesion like leukoplakia , or keratination due to habit of smoking , or stress induced lichen planus .
Dont be worried so much I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of lesion and if needed go for investigation cytology or biopsy to confirm the diagnosis .

Inmeantime maintain oral hygiene and you can apply ointment like Kenacort or Tess buccal paste on patch .

Hope this will help you.
