Hello, if you have a problem with opening your mouth due to fibrosis, certain intralesional injections are prescribed to help with your mouth opening. If your concern is just discolouration of oral mucosa and you do nat have any symptoms you may stop taking antioxidants
Next Steps
Watch out for any changes or lesions in oral cavity
Stop substance abuse if any
