My mouth
I have had mouth sores on my bottom gum and this is day 14 and I have been to two doctors and my dentist and they say mouth sores, canker sores, hell I don't know what to think. My dentist did a exam and he looked at everything. He said I was good it was not cancer but why are these sores taking so long to go away. I have chewed snuff for 30 years so I am just a little worried I would like to be sure he know what to look for. they seem to got a little better then they was but I have used everything to clean my mouth with dose it take that long for them to go always.

Hi this is day 21 and they are not half as big as they was. They are almost gone you cant see them that bad now they did look like a big rip or like I like I took my finger nail and took the skin off of them and as wide as my thumb nail. They are about like a pin head and gone almost gone away think god, because cancer don't heal I know that. Just have never had them to last this long, and never had this but maybe two times. I wish i knew what caused them. I don't have no bottom teeth and i was on nexium for years and have not had it for about a month so i don't know but that is why i was asking and i would think after two MD and two Dentist they would know what to look for they told me at the dentist it was not cancer and he said if he thought it was he would and did have the stuff to check me for and send it off, but he said he did not see nothing that looked like that so my trust and life i took his word but never hurts to get a second opinion when its your life. I chewed snuff for a long time but i quit that was to much stress for me over something that can cause cancer so stupid for not stop a long time ago. I think when i put canker cover tabs over my sores then i would take them off it tore the skin but i think you for your help and if you can think of anything else please reply think you.
