From your history and symptoms, it is likely to be oral submucous fibrosis, but definite diagnosis and treatment will require detailed history and clinical examination of your mouth and face. First of all, stop the habit of supari (areca nut) chewing. Minimize consumption of spicy foods. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Cut down the intake of alcohol, hot fluids like tea, coffee. Turmeric oil is proved to be effective in osmf. The anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antifibrotic properties of curcumin interfere with the progression of osmf at multiple stages. Treatment for osmf will depend on its stage and severity. Moderate stages of osmf will require intralesional steroids, whereas advanced stages will be treated surgically. Biopsy screening although necessary is not mandatory. Consult your dentist and follow up regularly.
