A member asked:

I have a stinging cut inside my cheekline which turned white. what should i do to make it go away?

Cheek cut: the area turned white because that is the normal healing process inside the mouth. Stick with a soft diet, avoid hard , spicy, and acidic foods that will irritate the area. Healing should take only a few days.

Be patient: Fortunately, cuts in the mouth generally heal quickly and no medical help is needed. Avoid eating spicy or salty foods and keep a good oral hygiene after each meal. See your doctor for medical advise if the wound causes excessive pain or appears to be infected.
