Long lasting mouth ulcer thing

[HCantThinkOfAUsername]

Excuse the shit pic my phone is a decade old
It's bumpy and red. Getting bigger and fucking hurts.
Tried loads and the bugger won't shift
Didn't realise this place existed thanks @mortificado

Oh forgot a pic oops

Anyone ? 😆

mouth ulcers are usually white

Is it a blister? Did you eat or drink something very hot?

If it's an ulcer Anbesol normally numbs the pain for me

Could you be sensitive to an ingredient in your toothpaste?

You need to show that to your gp or dentist asap.

If you've had it longer than two weeks and it's not getting any better, you need to see your dentist.

Please go see a doctor as soon as you can.

Make an appointment ASAP with your dentist; that needs an Oral Medicine Opinion +/- biopsy. Make sure you ring the dentist on Monday OP.

Nope not a blister, thought it was getting better last night but it's not. Damn thing! Have a GP appt for something else on Monday so will mention it then

Would strongly advise dentist and nor doctor but you need to get that looked at if it's been there for more than ten days.

7 weeks Tuesday. Doesn't look like a usual ulcer but feels like it if that makes sense

Try this stuff.

It can only be bought over the counter. Apply with a cotton bud.

If it doesn't get better within the week, seek medical attention.

It's already been there for 7 weeks. I'm a dentist and it is my professional opinion that it needs to be looked at by a dentist.

Don't fanny around trying to treat it with anything that is only intended to give pain relief, get it looked at.

I will get it checked @Mrsmorton , hopefully it's nothing.
Thank you all

7 weeks?? Blimey, poor you!

@Comedyusername it's a stubborn bugger fair dos 😂😂

I had something very similar on the side of my tongue. I was referred to the hospital and had a small biopsy taken from my tongue to check that it was OK. Luckily it was all ok - I was diagnosed with lichen planus but best go to the dentist to make sure!

MrsMorton please can I ask an unconnected dentist question? DD2 (6) has an adult lower incisor growing and the baby tooth is still hardly wobbly. Do we need to take her to see the dentist!

Not especially, as long as she has regular check ups it will be picked up in time to do anything if necessary.

Its still here and getting bigger. So 3 months now! Getting it rechecked tomorrow by practise nurse. When I saw gp 6 weeks ago he said it looked like it was beginning to heal but it hasn't.

Please please insist on an urgent referral to the ENT clinic at your hospital. It could be nothing, it could be something very nasty. My dear friend was fobbed off by her GP/dentist. Her husband booked her a private ENT appointment but sadly it all went downhill from there.

I've got a feeling I'll be fobbed off again and no way I can pay privately :( sorry about your friends DH @viques

There is no need for you to go private, they did because they could afford it ,but take someone with you if you think you will get fobbed off. I am not sure if dentists can give referrals to ENT , that is another route to try.

Mrs Morton, who posted when you posted before is a very experienced dentist and well respected in the MN community, if she says a dentist needs to look at it then she is advising you to do just that.
