Continuous mouth ulcers from many years
So, it is like she is getting mouth ulcers every 2-3 months from last 4-5 years.
We are not able to understand the problem and it would be of great help if you could suggest the correct specialist to consult for this situation. The ulcers comes in clusters. And recently a homeopathic doctor said that she is having many ulcers in neck.
Kindly throw some light towards this situation.
Is this some sort of cancer?

This is not a sign of cancer. The ulcers could be due to various reasons, such as stress or gastric problems.
Please visit a dentist. If these are stress ulcers, you will need to manage with gels that reduce burning sensation.
Also take an opinion from a gastroenterologist to rule out gastric problems.

Ulcers can have many causes. Stress can also trigger them. These kind of ulcers just have to be managed. However sometimes stomach problems can also cause ulcers. To rule that out consult a good gastroenterologist
