Are The Cancerous Sores In Throat Causing Bumps In Upper Back?
My 15 year old son has a bunch of cancer sore type sores in his mouth and down his throat. This has gotten progressively worse since Monday. Now today he has developed a bunch of bumps that look kind of like Mosquito bites on his upper back (100 or more)

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has sores in his mouth. It can be due to some infection or ulceration. Chances of cancer sores are rare at age of 15. He should go for biopsy of buccal mucosa to rule out any chance of cancer. His bumps on back has no relation with sores. It can be due to skin problems or other disease and it needs examination.
Consult your doctor and go for examination.
