Gutka and other to***co products can cause progressive changes in the tissues of the mouth, often before any obvious symptoms appear.
Persistent mouth ulcers, white or red patches, burning, difficulty opening the mouth, or a lump should not be dismissed—particularly in regular gutka users.
As a head and neck cancer surgeon, I strongly recommend getting any unusual change in the mouth examined early. Timely evaluation can mean simpler treatment, better outcomes, and in many cases, preserving important functions such as speech and swallowing.
If a change in your mouth persists, don’t wait for it to worsen. Get it checked.
