Whats the longest an ulcer has taken to heal ?
Im 26, I dont smoke or drink.
I seem to get them around this time every year, sometimes up to 7 in my mouth , ive been to the docs and dentist before (when ive had bad outbreaks) and they didnt seem to concerned with them. Mine normally heal within about a week.
I am a little worried coz i got an ulcer just to the right of my top lip about 4 weeks ago that appeared to be like any other. It inflamed and then appeared to settle down, however never fully healed. for the last 2 weeks the ulcer has remained, (nothing major to look at, doesnt hurt) just a slightly inflamed lump and I can only actually see the ulcer if a bright light is present.
I accidently bit the ulcer a couple of times when it was at its worse. Do I have anything to be concerned about ? Could this possibly be a scar? I keep feeling at the ulcer every 2 mins with my tounge to check if it has gone down , (which im sure wont be helping matters)
