How Can Severe Mouth Ulcers And Acne Be Treated?

I have been experiencing severe mouth ulcers on the tip of my tongue for the past several months which have become significantly worse and more frequent. It began with one ulcer every several weeks but have now developed into literally one after another. I have noticed small pin sized holes which have not gone away after severe sores. I have also developed severe acne (which is unusual for me) on my face, neck, back and chest. I am unsure if the acne has any relation to the mouth ulcers which are my biggest concern as of now. I have not changed dietary habits, medications, toothpaste or any other oral substances that I am aware of

Hello,

As per your complain you have problem of mouth ulcer and acne on face both together that may be because of any viral infection. Exact diagnosis can occur after physical examination and history given by you. Consult an oral medicine specialist for further diagnosis. Any immunocompromised disease also causes these type of symptoms. Food allergies may be ruled out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
