Ulcers in the mouth can be caused by anything from gingivitis or poorly-fitting dentures that rub, to "cold sores", to severe B-vitamin deficiency, to diseases like lupus or, which involve abnormal behavior of the immune system. There are many possibilities.

The most dangerous possibility is mouth cancer, and the back of the tongue would indicate the most aggressive type. How long they have been present this time, whether you've had them before, what other symptoms or problems you're having, and your history of tobacco use could be important clues.

DO NOT delay having a dentist or doctor examine your mouth!------PM, RN
