Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems more probably be due to recurring authors dermatitis causing recurring authors ulcers and can occur due to a number of causes like deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, stress, excess intake of sour foods, physical trauma, acid reflux, hormonal imbalances, diabetes etc. You should consult an oral physician and get evaluated and in case of authors ulcer he/she can advise you to take a multivitamin tablet daily. Do warm saline gargles. Do soda bi-carb gargles. Avoid spicy and sour foods. If there is pain in the ulcer you can apply a numbing gel containing Lidocaine and take Tylenol. Sucking ice pops and doing cold water rinses will help. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
