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'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?

That could be a contidion called leukoplakia whis is rare in youn adults like you,no need to worry,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate management and maintain oral hygiene.

I'm dealing with OSMF III from chewing tobacco for about 5 years, and now I have patches and bands inside my cheeks. My mouth is burning the entire time, and there's a lot of saliva, but inside it's feeling dry. Lately, I've been getting these lower lip ulcers that are growing really fast and becoming big, round, and kind of see-through. Even the upper lip has started ulcerating, becoming pointed and flat, and they're really painful. I'm worried these might turn into something serious, maybe even malignant. Could you suggest any medicine that can completely heal these ulcers? It's been around 15 days since the upper lip started having this issue.
