You may have a mild case of oral Lichen Planus. It's an auto-immune response. Have you started any medications, herbals, supplements, toothpaste, oral rinse, been sick, and or had stress? Usually it will go away once the source is resolved.

hello doctor i have had an ulcer and kept thinking that it was cancer andmy thinking put me into too much anxiety and all these white lines come when i had the ulcer but the ulcer is getting better but its not completely healed it been 20 days for that ulcer in my lips not completely healed but it did put me in stress anxiety and so and to be honest these while lines appear after the ulcer showed up i do not take any medications,

 

[honestdoc]

Hopefully, your autoimmune response will go away on its own. If you are having discomfort or pain, have your dentist consider oral corticosteroid like Triamcinolone in Dental Paste.

im really sorry asking too many question doctor but i always have fear of caner and so
could this Lichen Planus. causes fever cuz since i get them i always have fever and i feel my gums swollen
and is it normal for ulcer not completely heal it been 21 days for the ulcer not completely healed

Your body doesn't develop cancer very easily unless you have the genes and risk factors. An expert once mentioned that your body fights off cancer developing cells everyday. If you have the genes and risk factors such as tobacco use, those daily cancer cells can potentially overwhelm the body. This is a daily struggle. It is best to eliminate those risk factors.

It is unusual for ulcer to not heal after 21 days. It is best to visit your dentist to evaluate the reasons. Lichen planus does not cause a fever but it may be correlated due to altered immune response. Take care of what's ailing you and it should go away.

doctor today where i live all dentist are closed i went to general doctor who told me its from ur teeth and ent said the same

but they telling me the this is scar from the ulcer it not an ulcer and it can take up to 6 weeks to heal can u plz take a look

first picture when i had the ulcer
second picture its how it looks right now

 

[honestdoc]

It looks like an aphthous ulceration (stomatitis). It normally goes away in 7-10 days. Do you have any immune compromised conditions such as diabetes, acquired immune deficiencies, congenital, etc.? Ask you doctor or dentist to prescribe you Triamcinolone (Kenalog) in Dental Paste and apply with a Q-tip to the sore about 3 times a day.

hello doctor sorry for the late replay not i dont have any disease

the white line is now much better then before but the ulcer not getting better yet this is how its looks now i dont know if its getting better or not i didnt go dentist yet my appointment after 2moro and im really scared .

 

[honestdoc]

The ulceration looks like it is getting better. It usually goes away in 7 to 10 days.

 

[soqrates]

hello doctor im really sorry i keep bothering u im just scared and i have no clue what to do

i went to dentist today and he said that i have to go to a mouth disease doctor to make full check up on that ulcer if it didnt go in 14 days

i have very dry mouth crack lips burning sensation in my lips and tongue
this is how the ulcer looks now

do u think its cancer doctor? or just this ulcer taking slow time to heal

 

[honestdoc]

It looks like it is healing. You must be under a lot of stress and your body's immune response is stressed as well. Get Triamcinolone in dental paste from your doctor/dentist.

It is not cancer. If you are a smoker or use tobacco, quit ASAP.

hello doctor how are u today im sorry again to bother u today i want to 2 different dentist and the first one said if the ulcer dont go in 2 weeks i have to go back to him and he will send me to to a place where they make full check up on it to make sure its just an ulcer

[honestdoc]

Where are you located?

 

[soqrates]

im, from jordan middle east

 

[honestdoc]

You may have to go to a larger city with more resources. The medication I mentioned numerous times may not be available in smaller communities.

really i dont know how to thank you doctor for been helping me all this time <3

 

[honestdoc]

The lesion is your body's autoimmune response. Antibiotic will not cure it because it is not bacteria related. You shouldn't take antibiotics on your own because bacteria will get resistant to it when you need it the most. You need to have a doctor's prescription. Please, if you want my advice, then follow it.
