Secondly start take multivitamin supplement including lycopene & antioxidant.
Thirdly you may go for intramucosal injection of hydrocortisone.
Lastly you may go for surgical management by removal of fibrotic bands.
First two steps you may start at home & for last two consult nearest dentist if required.
