You need to go for thorough investigation to confirm the diagnosis. In smokers and the persin taking alcohol there are more chances to get leukoplakia and oral cancer. Stop smoking and alcohol for always to control the symptoms. Consult a maxillofacial surgeon for biopsy and screening.

Hi. First off all stop the" habbit. And observe for one month if size does not decrease with time then has to be seen clinically. Sometimes it doesn't increase in size and no discomfort but has to be on follow up regularly.
