Depends: More history is needed. Was there a "scar" present in the area while you were chewing tobacco, or did it appear after you stopped chewing? If the area is large, irritated and appears crusty and bleeds, you should have it examined by your dentist or physician.

I had a cut on my lip and i was putting peroxide on it but i learned that kills new skin cells. I'm now using Mederma for the scar but it doesn't look like it's going to heal the scar. Any other suggestions or is the tissue too dead from the peroxide?
