Normal canker sores or HPV?

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi, i just want to know if these are normal canker sores or something different? The sores have no pain and are constantly recurring in the same spot. This picture is the reason im wondering if its normal cankers or what. The only other thing i would think it could be would be my stomach issues (gastritis, ulcers). But i also had unsafe sex 5 months ago and lots of issues following months after. Have had all STD test come back negative. They didnt test me for HPV (genital warts) which i know can affect the mouth.

    Hey,

    Its more like a dental ulcer.

    We normally do not check warts unless you have developed any related symptoms.

    But i do not think that is linking to HPV.

      Hi, i appreciate your response. The main reason i was concerned of HPV was because ive already had every other STD test that came back negative. I just know there is high risk forms of HPV. Ive been having lots of urethral and mouth issues so its just had me stressed. What do you think could cause the recurring mouth ulcers? If you look on my other posts i have other photos and explain my other issues as well.

      Hey,

      Sure i will have a look on the other posts and get you back asap.

      Btw, if you worried about contracting HPV, maybe the best way is to visit your doctor and ask for HPV vaccination. 90% of genital warts could be prevented by the vaccine.

      Hi, thanks for your response. Do you know what could be causing these to recur. Also ive been having other urethral issues and what not but have been tested for every STD and negative. My biggest concern was a high risk form of HPV causing these issues. But im seeing a urologist and getting a cystoscopy in a few days for the urethral issues.

      high risk hpv does not cause symptoms it causes abnormal cells to grow thus causing pre cancer and cancer your issues are not related to hpv
