It's important to see a doctor to have a white patch evaluated. A doctor can do a test to determine if the patch is cancerous. There are a few different tests that can be done, including a biopsy or a scrape cytology. A biopsy is where a small sample of tissue is removed and examined under a microscope. A scrape cytology is where a sample of cells is collected from the surface of the patch and examined under a microscope. The best test for you will depend on the specific situation. Please see a doctor to get the best advice for your situation.
