Hi I have auto immune hepatitis , I've had it for a few years now and I was wondering does it cause mouth ulcers ? I seems to get them quite a lot and always in the same place my bottom and top lips I brush my teeth after every meal especially if I've eaten something sugary and I always use listerine mouth wash. But they keep coming back. Or is it due to me being constantly tired and run down ?
Hello, thank you for consulting with health care magic. As you are mentioning that you are infected with hepatitis, then it can be possible that ulcers which you are mentioning can be caused because of this only as hepatitis causes ulcers on the lip which is called as herpes labialis, and this is recurrent also. It will be better for you that you should take proper precautions to avoid it as avoid trauma and long sun exposures. And also you can start with some antivirals as soon as the lesion starts, but you should consult with a dentist before starting the medications. Regards Dr. Dipti Singh
