m a 27 year old non smoker, very occasional--4 beers a month--drinker. On Thursday--3 days ago--I noticed a weird sort of patch on my upper gum. I happened to shine a light on the spot and noticed it looked different. Granted I had never shined a light on the spot before. Anyway, I have posted a pic below and if anyone has any idea what it is, please let me know. It might be useful to know that for the past week leading up to thursday I was using Crest whitening toothpaste when normally I use Toms. As of Thursday, I have switched back to Toms. I have also had a sinus infection of sorts for the last week. Anyway, heres a photo:  WWW.WWWW.WW
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query, the white patch could be because of smoking (leukoplakia) or lichen plans or secondary to any friction (frictional keratitis) or because of fungal infection...kindly consult an oral physician to rule out these things.nothing to worry. Stop smoking gradually and maintain oral hygiene. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
