A member asked:
Are there any systemic diseases that cause a single solitary non healing painful tongue ulcer for 1 year?ulcer may have increased 1 or 2 mm in a year
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Prob not, but...: Some systemic health problems could do this, but far less likely than a localized problem. If not under a doctor's care for this, do it soon. Cancer is a possibility for a truly non-healing ulcer for as long as a year. Get it looked at soon.

Agree with Dr, H: The lesion may need to be excised for a proper diagnosis.
