High Risk Follow-Up: Please make an appointment with an oral medicine specialist immediately. You may do so at the following specialist centres:
During the appointment, you may expect the specialist to recommend a biopsy. That involves taking a little sample of the lesion/growth to be studied so that they can pinpoint what disease you may have accurately.
On your own, please manage any of your habits which might place you at risk of oral cancer, if any.
These may include, but are not limited to: Smoking, Alcohol Consumption, Chewing of Betel-nut, prolonged exposure to sunlight, anonymous oral sex.
Low Risk Follow-Up:
Even though the lesion may not be one with a high risk of transforming into cancer, it is good to make an appointment with your oral healthcare provider to get a diagnosis. This will enable the healthcare provider to monitor your lesion for any suspicious transformation.
On your own, please manage any of your habits which might place you at risk of oral cancer, if any.
