Is frequent tongue ulcers a sign of cancer?
Question
Hello doctor, my tongue is often ulcerated and burning, very uncomfortable, discovered since the age of 7. I have also been treated through a number of male and western medicines but no progress. Did the doctor tell me if I have tongue cancer? Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you doctor!

Hello. Tongue ulcers are caused by viruses and bacteria, vitamin deficiency. In your case the recurrence is usually due to a virus. You should go to Dental - Jaw - Facial medical facilities or Vinmec Hospital to be examined, diagnosed and treated by a doctor.
