I have had mouth ulcer for a good 2 weeks, there are 5 all at the back end of my tongue, near the ending of the tongue. I have not been feeling any pain, but i sense they are there. I saw three doctors who have said they are ulcers and told me not to worry. Over the last week i have been constantly petrified of them and i keep fearing its mouth cancer.

I dont know what to do anymore, my psychologist told me hours ago that im suffering from health anxiety, but i still cant comfort myself. This might be linked to the fact my cousin died 4 years ago, and i was there with him when his heart failed to keep him alive. I was also forced into sexual contact with my ex partner which has left me with a STD, im slowly coming to terms with it, and its not too serious.

Please someone help me...tell me, do ulcers take alot of time to clear? Are they white around and red in the middle? Is the stress and anxiety the reason for them...or do they come about due to having the cold? Do some look like small red bumps stuck together? I need someone to reassure me, im going completely out of my mind, im just frightened.

thx
