A member asked:
Rough white spots on inside of cheek. disappear and come back later in same place. painless but possibly linked to irritating foods/biting cheek.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely: related to chronic inflammation from repeated biting. Have your dentist take a look at your teeth. An edge of one tooth might be irritating the area.
