Tobacco: The area will heal and return to normal but it can take time, may be months. You have reduced your risk of cancer since you quit. Great job. Keep it you.

2 to 4 weeks: Do you also smoke? Use much alcohol? Is it in the area you held the tobacco? Is it red or ulcerated? If the area is not normal in another 2 weeks you should have a biopsy. This is easy and nearly painless. A microscopic exam will define the cause of persistence. Stay away from all forms of tobacco and use very little or no alcohol.
