What Could Be The Cause Of Recurring Pimples On The Lower Lip, Loss Of Hair And Facial Glow In A Tobacco Addict ?
Hello, My question is related to oral cancer . I was addicted to tobacco and at the age of 24 I got a pimple on my lower lip which wasn t healing , so 4rth day I decided to go see a doctor. He didn t tell me anything but I told him everything that this pimple isn t healing from last 4 days and also I said I got a lump feeling in my neck right side of my neck.. I also lose weight not much. Dr. only advice me to start the course of homeopathic medicines and from last 2 years(now I am 26) I am continuing his medicines and now I don t cough like before(but sometimes when its cold), pimples are disappear(but comes again when I eat oily and hard food or fruits or drink), loss of hair and no glow on my face. What will you suggest me?

hello. welcome to HCM.
please do not take oral lesions with ? neck node enlargement lightly as it can be cancerous or precancerous. Best would be a biopsy of the main lesion as well as lymph node. It might not be cancerous but definitely it is not something to wait and watch
Take care.
