Do Recurring Mouth Ulcers Need Medical Attention?

Hi I've got a mouth ulcer on cheek of my lower lip and it's not as painful only when I try to squeeze it. Once I broke it, if didn't appear for about 3 days and again it seemed to develop again.I'm worried because It's been there for a while now plus it's recurring. I want to know if it's cancerous in nature and should I be worried or let it take time to heal.Mindy respond Thanks

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like there is recurring mouth ulcer and if there is pus formation then it is most probably due to infection..

So my suggestion is to apply antiseptic oral gel like Chlorohexidine over it and gargle with antiseptic mouthwash..
You can also apply a steroid ointment like Triamcinolone Acetonide over it..
Do warm saline gargles..

In case if there is no improvement then you can consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated so that further diagnosis can be done..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
