1. Can nicotine lozenges cause or further aggravate leukoplakia?I recently used smokeless tobacco for about 3 weeks after not being a regular user for nearly a decade.  That ended a week ago but this week, Im developing small white bumps on my gumline (2) and lower lip (1) that look like images of leukoplakia. Im going to see a dentist asap. Ive switched over to nicotine lozenges in the meantime.
With your query, as such nicotine in any form is injurious to health and the most common lesions are these white lesions what you see. This clearly indicates you cannot use nicotine either smokeless or lozenges because both the forms will aggravate the situation. Stop using which can definitely be considered as main treatment for the white lesions and for symptomatic relief please visit your specialist dentist that is oral medicine. Hope this helps you. Moment you stop using nicotine you can appreciate the change
