A member asked:
Every cut or scratch in my mouth (2/mo) gets very irritated and takes weeks to heal. is this normal or something that indicates a bigger problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No two people heal at the same rate, but 2 months is inordinately long. Please see your Dentist for an examination to determine why you are getting multiple lesions, the nature of the lesions, and the proper treatment.
