Non-Cancerous Conditions that Look Scary but Are Treatable

Not every sore means cancer. Many mouth ulcers or patches are harmless, but only if they’re correctly diagnosed.
  • Traumatic oral ulcer-
    Caused by broken teeth, wisdom teeth, or dentures rubbing against your mouth. It’s painful but treatable once the source is fixed.
  • Herpes or stomatitis-
    A viral infection that causes ulcers. These usually clear within 7 days with antiviral treatment.
  • Lichen planus-
    This is like eczema in your mouth. It’s an immune issue, not cancer. It can’t be fully cured yet, but it can be managed with proper care.
  • Lichen planus-
    This is like eczema in your mouth. It’s an immune issue, not cancer. It can’t be fully cured yet, but it can be managed with proper care.
These issues don’t get better with random creams or vitamins. You need a proper diagnosis for proper treatment.

Conditions that May Become Cancer if Ignored

Some sores may look simple, but can turn serious if you don’t act in time.

Chronic traumatic ulcers

If the same area gets hurt again and again, it can become a precancerous stage called dysplasia. If ignored, this can turn into cancer.

Tobacco-related patches

Chewing tobacco or betel nuts can cause red or thick white patches, called erythroplakia or verrucous hyperplasia. These are warning signs. Surgery at the right time can remove them before they turn cancerous.

What If It is Dangerous?

If a mouth sore doesn't heal in 15 days, you need a specialist check-up. At Epion Clinic, we focus on finding the cause quickly and clearly. That's where diagnosis and biopsy come in.

A biopsy is when a small sample is taken from the sore. It’s sent to a lab to check if the cells are normal, pre-cancerous, or cancerous. The whole process is simple and done with local anaesthesia. You won't feel pain—just a little pinch. It may take a few days for results, but it gives you real answers.

Dr. Niladri Sekhar Bakshi is a maxillofacial surgeon who may suggest a biopsy—a painless test to determine whether the sore is cancerous. Dr. Bakshi checks the sore’s location, shape, and cause. If needed, he performs a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. His skill ensures the right diagnosis, guiding safe and accurate treatment without delay.

  • Inside your tongue
  • In the floor of the mouth
