I am having recurring mouth ulcers and my blood report shows serum iron as 60 ug per dl. Can this be the cause of the ulcers?

Yes, low or borderline iron levels can cause frequent mouth ulcers. Consider iron rich foods and consult your doctor for supplements if needed. Vitamin deficiency can also cause ulcers
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a Serum Iron test Test or Take a VITAMIN B12 AND FOLATE Test

Hello Doctor, my mother ultrasonography result showed a 3.7 cm cyst on the left ovary. The doctor prescribed Cystelia 35 for six months continuously. During the first month, she had side effects of abdominal pain, bloating, and excessive sleep each day. We reported this to the doctor, who gave only an iron tablet and said if we were worried, we could do a cancer blood test. Today, in the second month of taking Cystelia 35, my mother suddenly noticed red, raised, painful blisters that are spreading and very painful after itching. Doctor, please help. Could this be a side effect of Cystelia 35? My mother is in a lot of pain from the blisters. Please advise urgently.
