Oozing sores in very back sides of mouth.

What about recurrent oozing sores in very back sides of mouth. They don't look like aphthous ulcers exactly, though my adult son has a history of those recurring. The back of his mouth looks lumpy. Could this be mouth cancer? How do you get a physician to look back there carefully and see the full extent of this.

I am in the USA.

Hi LM

There are normal bumps at the back of the tongue.

Recurrent ulcers, that heal and return, are most unlikely to be a cancer Smiler .
Get your son to see an ENT or Maxillofacial Surgeon for an examination - they should be able to look at the back of the tongue and advise you further.

Best wishes
