Not much: First you need a diagnosis. The only way to get one is to have a biopsy of the area. Leukoplakia is latin for "white patch". It is used only to describe a condition and is not a diagnosis. A vast number of things can give you leukoplakia so until you know what exactly is causing it there is nothing you can do for it.

Get a biopsy.....NOW: Leukoplakia, or white patch, is a change in color from the normally pink tissues seen in the mouth. Sometimes caused by mechanical irritations, they can also be an early sign of oral cancers. Early treatment dramatically improves survival rates. You cannot manage this on your own. The only move here is to see a dentist or oral surgeon and obtain a biopsy.
