I used to chew gutkha for about 5 years. A month ago, I noticed an ulcer on my gum near the upper wisdom tooth and some skin buildup near the jaw joint on the same side. I quit chewing tobacco for two weeks, and the ulcer healed, but the skin buildup didnt go away. Then I started chewing pan masala and betel nut without tobacco and lime, and occasionally smoked. Within a week, I felt pain near the skin buildup when opening my mouth. I saw a surgical oncologist who said it could be leukoplakia and premalignant lesions, and he recommended I stop chewing everything and gave me supplements and a mouthwash. After a couple of days, the soreness went away, but now I have pain again near the wisdom tooth. What are the chances of this turning into cancer?
