Mouth biopsy healing

hi my partner had a biopsy taken for a white area on his salivary glands on the floor of mouth a week past Wednesday and the wound has not healed yet is this normal ? Or is this because it’s cancer? How long will it take to heal? 

  • Hello Worriedpartner80,

    Welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort your partner is having. While I can't give you any advice on whether this is normal or not, we have a team of nurses that you can talk to for free on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm). It may also be a good idea to go back to the doctor and mention that this wound persists.

    All the best for you and your partner.
