Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Leukoplakia is a precancerous lesion [but not cancer] and is common with tobacco chewers and dippers..

So as it is 3 months of taking multivitamin and antioxidant and if the lesions are not spreading, first of all it is a good sign and you should be happy with that..

Secondly you should continue the treatment for another 3 months and hopefully you will find improvement..
Do not use tobacco at all for even once..

Please send me images of your lesions so that I can advise you further..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
