From the image and your symptoms, the white patch inside the cheek looks like it could be from chronic cheek biting or irritation due to a sharp tooth edge. The recurring pain in your upper left jaw could be related to:
Trauma from repeated cheek biting
A sharp cusp or broken tooth
Or even a deep cavity or gum inflammation in the upper molars
Next Steps
Visit a dentist in person for a proper clinical exam and X-ray if needed. The white lesion may be a traumatic fibroma or frictional keratosis, both benign and caused by constant irritation â but it must be confirmed clinically. Dologel-CT or Kenacort gel may help with pain temporarily. Warm saline rinses 2â3 times a day and avoiding spicy/hard food will promote healing. If a sharp tooth is the culprit, smoothing or minor reshaping may be required.
Health Tips
Schedule an in-person consultation with a dentist or oral medicine specialist. Request an IOPA X-ray of the upper molars to rule out hidden infections.

Hello,
1. The pain in your jaw could be due to a traumatic bite, deep cavities in your teeth or could be because of TMJ (Jaw joint) disorders.
It is important to show to a dentist in person so that accurate diagnosis can be given.
2. The white spot on your cheek is mostly due to the "cheek biting" caused by the sharp edges of your back teeth.
Temporary relief : Apply Dolo gel or Mucopain gel in that area twice daily. (Note : this will only give temporary relief, not long term solution)
Next Steps
Consult a dentist IN PERSON for accurate diagnosis.

Hi! This is likely due to a sharp tooth edge causing cheek bite. You should visit a dentist to get it checked — they can smooth or correct the tooth.
For temporary relief, apply Dologel-CT for 3 days on the affected area. It will help reduce pain.
Also, do warm saline rinses 2–3 times a day and avoid spicy food until it heals.
