Hi Balakal! I do remember you. Any sore that is in your mouth for 2 weeks or longer should be checked by a dental professional or ENT. I also have some questions about what is irritating your mouth. Do you use tobacco or any other substance that would irritate your gums?

I have had a tumor on my gums the first time I had cancer. I actually had 2 completely separate tumors, one on my cheek and one behind my top molar. Mine looked just like a canker sore to me. I couldnt believe it when the biopsies came back with a diagnosis of cancer.

I would suggest to get this spot biopsied. It has been there for a while and needs to be checked. I hope it is not cancer! Best wishes!!!!
