Mouth ulcer
I was eating lots of pan and tobacco till August 2017 , as soon as I left eating these things I got problems in my mouth. Now I am unable chew anything from the left side of my mouth and there is pain also. The color of the skin became bluish or it can said whitish blue.
I am worried of thinking that it might be initial stage of mouth cancer.
Please suggest me and clear my doubts.

Eating too much of tobacco products can lead to many oral problems such as recurring ulcers & inability of jaw movement to perform basic functions such as opening of mouth.
If the skin has changed colour ,this might be due to staining by the pan or tobacco products which is also called as tobacco keratosis. As you must be experiencing these are due to prolonged habit of tobacco products, I would advice you to stop taking these products or else you might be having risk of developing oral cancer.
Next Steps
you should consult a dentist or oral medicine specialist to do a thorough check up the oral condition you are having.Completely quit the habit of tobacco/pan.
Health Tips
if your dentist finds something unusual with the oral mucosa(skin) , he might ask you to get a biopsy report done to rule out any chances of oral cancer.

You should consult a doctor as soon as possible and go for required tests.there are many oral problems which can lead to such discolouration hence u cannot consider it as cancer with out undergoing right procedure.
