Mouth Ulcer

Question

Mouth Ulcer

Asked for Male, 35 Years

Hello Doctor, I have a small white ulcer/patch on the inner cheek near a molar tooth for about 10–12 days. It is slightly painful and the surrounding area also feels sore. I frequently get mouth ulcers. My recent blood report shows low Vitamin B12 with high MCV. I quit tobacco 2 years ago. There is no bleeding or numbness. Please advise whether this looks like a simple aphthous/traumatic ulcer or if it needs further examination, and what treatment I should follow. Thank you.

Hello This looks like a simple apthous ulcer. Recurrent ulceration can be due to improper meals, work stress, disturbed sleep cycle, vitamin deficiency. You can apply dologel ct ointment on the affected area and do not swallow the ointment for 30mins or can apply homemade ghee/honey

This most likely sounds like a recurrent aphthous or traumatic ulcer, especially since it is painful and you have low Vitamin B12 (which commonly causes mouth ulcers). Start B12 supplementation, use a topical ulcer gel, and avoid spicy foods. Also check for any sharp tooth irritation. If it does not heal within 2 weeks or increases in size, get it examined. For now, it appears more nutritional/traumatic than serious.
