It is painless and and even I can'nt feel it now. It has been more than 16 days. It has not completely healed but seems pretty slow in healing. It looks like skin colored with raised borders. Can anyone advice please?

Visit your dentist or a local oral surgeon. If it's something important you will be catching it early, if it is nothing, you will be getting peace of mind.

I have done biopsy done, but the doctor says that it will take about a week to get the results. Though I tried to call him and he says he has not yet received the results, I have already an appointment for Friday for stitiching cut on biopsy. I also noticed that the corners of the ulcers are little bit down now and I can'nt tell whether the ulcer is healed or not. It seems healed but when I pull my lips it still seems not healed.
I have apparanetly no other symptoms. When you say it is early stage of catching, what does it mean? Please expalain. godlov | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 4 Member | OP Member Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 4 | Hi:
First of all, let me say that a few days I was relieved by this site. I was able to receive solace by knowing more and truthful information.
This afternoon, I received my biopsy report and the oral surgeon told me that I should not worry. It is not related to cancer. I am highly relieved.
However, I appreciate the work that Brian had put in opening this discussion board.
I feel my appreciation to all and wish from my heart the best of health. godlove | | |
