About 3 years ago I cut the roof of my mouth at the front with some sharp food.
Occasionally it will flare up with what feels like an ulcer which will bleed when I eat etc (which is sort of impossible not to do!!) And always in the same spot. Usually it's annoying but goes after about 2 weeks.
It's been there this time since about 2 weeks ago and it isn't going. I went to the dentist in November and she saw it when it wasn't flared up (it's always a bit red just not as big) and said does this ulcer hurt? And at the time it didn't so I said no.
It's quite irritating because of where it is in my mouth and when I google I just get mouth cancer as a result and loads of horrible pictures that don't look like what I have and I end up stressing myself out.
I can't really afford to go to the dentist as I have to pay private prices. My GP is pretty crap but I'm going to try them next week even though I'm pretty sure they will fob me off as they never seem to see anyone face to face.
For info I am 9 weeks pregnant. And I also tend to sleep with my mouth open which I am sure doesn't help healing.
I apologise for the photo - it was so awkward trying to take it but also I find the insides of peoples mouths disgusting so I do not blame you for thinking that too!
