I'm really worried because it's been three months and my mouth ulcers aren't healing. I don't smoke or chew tobacco, so I don't understand why this is happening. I've tried taking multivitamins and had four B12 shots, but there's no improvement. I've got ulcers on the roof of my mouth, under my tongue, and I think there's some at the back of my throat on the left side. I've seen three ENT specialists, but none of them have suggested a biopsy. What else can I do or check for?

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?
Oral cavity burning with ulcers, white patches, and bands inside the cheeks along with excessive mouth watering could be indicative of a severe condition. The unhealing ulcers on the lips, especially if growing daily, raise concerns for carcinoma due to tobacco chewing. To address the symptoms and potential underlying condition, I recommend seeking immediate medical attention for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. Treatment may include a combination of medications such as: - Topical corticosteroids like Triamcinolone dental paste for the ulcers - Antifungal medication like Nystatin oral suspension for white patches - Analgesics like Paracetamol for pain relief Additionally, it is crucial to stop tobacco use immediately to prevent further worsening of the condition and reduce the risk of carcinoma development.

I've been smoking for about five years and usually go through 56 cigarettes each day. Lately, I've noticed these white lines inside my cheek that have been there for around a year. They're slightly thick, sometimes shrink, and taste bitter when I touch them with my tongue. There's no pain, but I often find my food tasteless. Should I be worried that this might be something serious, or could it just be some kind of fungus?
