Hello,
Ulcers are of many types and due to various reasons.The most common are Aphthous ulcers usually due to stress and vitamin deficiencies.Apply Dologel-CT gel over the ulcers 4-5 times a day,for a week.Leave it for 10 min and then rinse.Avoid spicy food for 10 days and take multivitamins for 10 days.
