Should I consult? Is it an infection?

45-year-old woman2 years ago

Since about 1 month, I have a kind of filament/white line on the inside of my left cheek that starts from the corner of my mouth and goes to the bottom of my cheek. It doesn't hurt, just feels bad. Sometimes I feel it more than others, but it doesn't go away.

Good morning, ma'am,

If there are no other symptoms, this does not necessarily indicate a problem.

I only suggest that you brush your teeth with a soft or very soft wire brush, floss at least once a day, and if you use mouthwash, use one without alcohol.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
