What Is The Hole On The Bottom Of My Cheek?
I have a hole on the bottom of my cheeck and it s filled with white stuff, I can scrap the top layer of white with a q tip and the hole is still covered with white stuff. It s a small hole and I thought maybe it s a canker sore? But now I am not sure, I ve been using mouth wash three times a day for two days now and I ve had this for almost two weeks

Hi,
It may be leukoplakia. Consult the dermatologist or oral surgeon immediately for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. A biopsy may be needed to rule out malignancy. If needed, excision may be done by an oral surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
