Recurrnt tip of tongu small ulcer.vry painful and need to keep scratching it with my nail.now there is crack in the sore from nail.been 3 mnths.

Worrisome & unclear: Sore tongue papilla are not rare but do not commonly ulcerate or persist for more than a few days. Recurrent tissue trauma will promote ulceration. Yet prolonged lack of healing is worrisome for possible cancer: dysfunctional cells with altered genes struggling to stay alive, burn sugar for energy, may kill adjacent cells & metastasize to other parts of body.
