I've been dealing with this ulcer on my tongue and the side of my tongue for a really long time now, and its becoming a constant issue. It's kind of worrying me because it never seems to go away. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different to get rid of it?

You need to get this checked..there might be a tooth with a sharp margin constantly coming on contact with the side of you tongue causing the ulcers..please do meet a dentist and an ENT specialist asap.

Question

I've had this white, painless lump on my gum for about a year now, and it's not grown or anything. Should I be worried about it?

I've been having a lot of trouble with my mouth lately. My oral cavity feels like it's burning, and it's full of ulcers. There are also these white patches and bands inside my cheeks, and my mouth keeps watering heavily. It's impossible for me to eat anything spicy, even if it has zero chili. The worst part is the ulcers on my lipsthey just won't heal and seem to be spreading on both my upper and lower lips. I do chew tobacco, so I'm really worried if this might be something serious like carcinoma. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm concerned about mouth fibrosis and want to get it sorted out as soon as possible. Which type of specialist should I consult for this condition? Could you also provide detailed information on treatment options? I'm pretty anxious to get this addressed quickly.
