A non healing ulcer may turn into cancer. Symptoms would be growth, pain, bleeding, presence of neck swelling termed as lymphadenopathy. Ideally a clinical examination and biopsy is required. After seeing tissue under microscope and confirming diagnosis the treatment is given. Lycopen has no additional benefits to avoid cancer.
Next Steps
clinical examination with if suspicious lesions biopsy
Health Tips
Avoid tobacco in form of pan, smoke  and alcohol consumption.
