Scared! Mouth ulcer

Hi, just looking some advice or help. I suffer really bad with health anxiety. Each day I believe I've got cancer of some sort. Big C word scares be the most. Recent one I believe I have is mouth cancer. I've got an ulcer in my mouth that I've had for 2 weeks that's not going it doesn't seem like it's got bigger but won't budge. I tried salt on it I constantly use mouth wash and brush my teeth. Has any one else had this and turned out fine? The thought be getting cancer at 26 scares me with 2 kids at home. 

  • Welcome to the forum H123 although I'm sorry about your most recent health scare.

    As you've noticed changes to your mouth ulcer it may be worth booking an appointment with your GP as they'll be able to let you know whether this is any cause for concern and hopefully put your mind at ease.

    It must be very difficult living with health anxiety. If you haven't mentioned this to your GP before, do be sure to let them know as they will be able to point in the right direction for getting advice and support. The charity Anxiety UK have a lot of information and resources which you may find useful as well. To find out more just click here.
