Hi Everyone,
I am a new poster but have been using the forum for reassurance for some time. Today I am making my first post because my HA is going crazy to the point where I’m struggling to function.
Around 4 weeks ago I noticed what looked like a large ulcer on the back of my throat, I expected to get a sore throat or some kind of infection after this but nothing transpired. The ulcer thing remains - it looks slightly less angry in terms of redness but it doesn’t hurt it’s rather skin coloured and looks a little like a burn blister, I can swallow fine and I’ve had no symptoms. It bleeds easily if I touch it (yes I’ve been prodding around!) I’ve never had an ulcer before or any kind of mouth sore.
I should say that I have been very run down and stressed lately, I don’t know is this could be a causing factor, I have been unable to sleep because of the fear of mouth cancer, I went to the Dr’s and got given an appointment with a nurse practitioner who didn’t know what it was but gave me a Difflam throat spray - this was around 10 days ago and it hasn’t changed.
I’m a 32 year old female non smoker non drinker, I know not a typical throat cancer target but I can’t stop worrying. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?
I do intend to make another doctors appointment now that I had used the spray for the recommended duration with no change.
Any advice/reassurance would be so appreciated.
