Submitted by ais on Mon, 06/02/2008 - 09:45.
This picture shows major aphthous ulcers of tongue.They are different from the common minor ulcers as they are larger and takes a longer time to heal.Sometimes these cannot be differentiated with cancers. In situations like these, the ulcer is removed surgically and sent for investigations. The prevalence is high among young females. The cause is not yet known. This condition can get exaggerated during times of depression and menstruation (of females). A slight association with congenital transfer cannot be excluded. Treatment: Heals spontaneously.
