A member asked:

Is it possible to contract mouth ulcers on the roof of your mouth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why ulcers there: Depends on where it exactly is and what it looks like. Mouth ulcers can be a matter of simple using an rx Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) soak, or it can be more serious even up to a cancer. This needs to be evaluated by a dentist for what it is and what is the best to do.
