Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as you have cancer sore in lower right gum dont be worried so much ulcer can be due to nutritional deficiency , vitamin B 12 deficiency , hormonal influences , drug induced .
Dont be worried so much for this I will suggest to apply ointment like Mucopain or Mugel on ulcer , you can take vitamin B complex by consulting with your local doctor .
If ulcer persists then you should consult dentist for oral examination .
Hope this will help you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The ulcers on the gums could be because of herpetic stomatitis from herpes virus infection that occurs most often secondary to stress.
The other possible cause could be secondary to trauma like tooth brush injury or from food particles.
If it is traumatic ulcer or herpetic ulcer, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food.
It can also be a aphthous ulcer since you are giving a long term ulcer.
If it is aphthous ulcer you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.
Do saline gargling. If the lesion does not heal in 5-7 days then consult a oral physician and get it examined.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
