a word ulcer , (Is the loss of part of the skin or of the membrane lining the inside of the mouth)
Can be in different numbers and sizes according to disease. Known as a group of diseases that begin symptoms of ulcers simple and quick recovery, including frequent and needs to know in the diagnosis of the disease and follow-up by the specialists. To simplify the subject, we divide these ulcers into two types, a painful type and a painless one, which is unique to different diseases and its type,
First: painful ulcers
- Surgical ulcers: This type appears on the effect of the use of a sharp substance inside the mouth, whether from the patient himself or by a doctor used sharp machines inside the mouth, such as dentists during their surgical interventions, this type is clear and quick healing.
- Repeated castles: This type of recurrent appearance and pain is in different numbers and sizes, and some call the white ulcer self-healing from two to three weeks, most of the causes are viral.
- Behgat syndrome: a disease known to many doctors with obvious symptoms where the ulcer large and very painful to infect the mouth and genital organs and then the skin sometimes if the diagnosis is recommended to convert the patient to the eye doctor due to complications of the disease on the eye and the need to be followed closely by a dermatologist and doctor Eyes and coordination between them in his treatment.
- Here is a small painful sore inside the mouth. This small sore can be the beginning of a serious illness in adults, with the need not to neglect it from the beginning and follow the injured, especially if followed by ulcers on the skin that you need. To specific tests to confirm diagnosis and then treatment.
- Scleroderma: This type is caused by a virus that appears in the form of a group of ulcers seen in the roof of the throat or on the extremities accompanied by severe pain in adults and rarely in young people.
Second: non-painful ulcers
Notes in a range of specific diseases:
- Although there has been a decline in the disease in the last decades of this century, however, should not ignore any painless ulcer inside the mouth or on the lips, especially if preceded or accompanied by infections in the genital organs when the suspicion of this disease are working special tests to confirm the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
- Ulcerative Spleen SLE: It is seen in adults and in young people where it is considered a distinctive sign of the disease beside the symptoms of other disease.
- Sickness of the disease: SCC This type of chronic and bleeding often affects the elderly appear on the lips suffered by smokers more than others, especially pipe smokers.
The essence of what I want to communicate is not to ignore or disregard any ulcers appear inside the mouth, especially in the elderly because it is possible to be the beginning of a serious illness and needs appropriate treatment when discovered.
