Has anyone had Leukoplakia?
I had these two odd white patches appear on my bottom gums after my last tooth on each side of my mouth. I emailed the doc some pics who said it looks like a type of ulceration and went on to say that if it was a single area that was bleeding, hurting etc he'd feel a little more concerned but gave me some steroids and if it hasn't cleared up then get back to him.
I found it a little weird as it's in the exact same position on both sides. I'm actually wondering if it's to do with chewing food and it's caused an irritation.
I've not read too much on Leukoplakia for obvious reasons but it's the first thing that came into my head as I'm not sure what else can cause a plaque looking area.
Is Leukoplakia usually left to see what happens or do they opt for removal?
