A member asked:

Creamy white patch on the inside of right cheek. can scrape it off with ease but comes back. been like this for many months. possibly thrush?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leukoplakia: This sounds like a patch of leukoplakia. It's best to have an oral surgeon for diagnosis and treatment as leukoplakia may be a premalignant lesion.
