Mouth ulcer
Hi sir/madam,
Whenever I skip my meals for a day or didn't eat food properly, I always get mouth ulcer. This happens for the past 7/8 years. And If I got any ulcers, it took atleast 15 days to cure even applying ointment also. So why is it happen like this. Please help.

It's chronic condition, most probably aphthous ulcer.
It has no permanent cure.
Apply dentogel and lexanox ointment, each thrice a day, whenever ulcer starts.
Crash tetracycline tablet mix with water and do mouth rinse with it, three times a day, from first day of appearing of ulcer.
Try not to skip meal or whichever trigger your problem.

You can consult a gastroenterologist to rule out any gastric issues like acidity or other deficiencies that can cause ulcers

There are some specific types of aphthous ulcers that occur like this and persist for long time and heal by self. The reason it starts is some kind of stress.
You must consider some stress reduction and management techniques or counsellor help if needed. You can if you feel worried take opinion from a skin specialist to rule out some chronic mucous lesions . If you desire specific details and consult you can ask for a practo consult and provide with pics and detailed history that may help me advice more clearly.
