First, quit using all forms of tobacco immediately! Another member mentioned leukoplakia (often is a pre-cancer) which it could be, among many other things. If facing a pre-cancer situation you do not want to continue to dump more poison onto the area giving it more fuel to turn into a major health situation. By eliminating tobacco, this will free your mouth from increased toxins helping to give it a chance to heal. White patches inside your mouth are not normal. Any sore that has been in your mouth for 2 or more weeks needs to be checked by a medical professional. The biopsy will examine the tissue sample and determine exactly what it is.
Im hoping it turns out to be nothing more serious than an irritation. Best wishes!!!
