Assalamualaikum

For the past few days,

I've been suffering a lot of pain

due to an ulcer in my mouth -.-

It's healing, but still hurts

so today I'd like to write a post

dedicated to the ulcer

which is killing me right now.. :P

Ulcer

is a discontinuity or break in

a bodily membrane

that impedes the organ of which that

membrane is a part from

continuing its normal functions

Type of ulcers:

Ulcer (dermatology), a discontinuity of the skin or a break in the skin

=Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores

=Genital ulcer, an ulcer located on the genital area

-Ulcerative dermatitis, a skin disorder associated with

bacterial growth often initiated

by self-trauma due to a

possible allergic response

Corneal ulcer, an inflammatory or infective condition of the cornea

Mouth ulcer, an open sore inside the mouth

Aphthous ulcer, a specific type of oral ulcer also known as a canker sore

Peptic ulcer, a discontinuity of the

gastrointestinal mucosa (stomach ulcer)

Venous ulcer, a wound thought to occur due to

improper functioning of valves in the veins

Ulcerative sarcoidosis, a cutaneous condition

affecting people with sarcoidosis

Ulcerative lichen planus, a rare variant of lichen planus

So right now I'm suffering from mouth ulcer

how?

I accidentally bit my cheek while eating

causing damage to the membrane

of the epithelial cells of my cheek

>.<

There are many reasons to why

an ulcer could occur

I'm reading about it right now

and I have no idea what

are they talking about

big, scientific words that I don't

understand -_-

Read about it here:

Mouth ulcer

Rarely, ulcers that does not

heal after a few weeks

may lead to oral cancer

because usually, normal ulcers

just take about a week or two maybe

but not very long..

Ulcers heal by themselves

but you can do things to

increase its rate of healing

and avoid secondary infection

The most important thing

to remember is to maintain

a good oral hygiene

You can use analgesic tu reduce pain

Gel to reduce inflammation

and avoid acidic and spicy food

as they tend to increase the pain

My friends told me

that to make sure

they heal really fast

letak garam batu

(something like that)

dekat tempat ulcer tu

It'll hurt a lot

I mean reallyyyyy painful

(rubbing salt to a wound)

but people say it's super effective

Personally, I've never tried it >.<

Note to self: keep mouth clean and chew food slowly

avoid future ulcers

Bye2, Assalamualaikum :)
