Hi there A. Leukoplakia 1.Stop smoking / alcohol 2.Triamcinolone gel apply locally 2 or 3 times/day B. I think these must be microinfarct bcz of hypertension n increased blood sugar so make a tight control on them with your antihypertensive medication or anti diabetic if your father already on, with strict diet n exercise schedule No levepil further.
