I have a tag on my inside right cheek...probably from a bite...but I have to be careful when I chew that I don't aggravate it. I've had it for 2 months. I remember when I was young that a dentist put some iodine or like ointment on it to shrink and heal it. What do you recommend?
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have cheek bitting , that tag on your cheek can be due to cheek bitting. If cheek bitting is caused by wisdom tooth or due to sharp cusps on tooth , consult dentist and go for treatment . You can do is Apply ointment Mucopain or Dologel twice daily for two - three times a day Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Hope it will help you. Wishing you good health .
