Hi tinamariemcpherson20 ,

Have you had the sore examined by your dentist? If they think it is of concern they could then refer you to an oral specialist at the hospital for further examination and/or biopsy.

The sore on my right cheek has nothin to do with my mouth are the inside the sore is pretty much up by my cheekbone i had a few ppl tell me they think it could be skin cancer

Hi tinamariemcpherson20 ,

I'm sorry, I misunderstood and didn't realise it was on the outside of your cheek. Have you been to see your doctor? They may wish to refer you to a dermatologist.

I'm supposed to see my dr today but i had to cancel my appt cause i didn't have anyway over there so pretty much all i can do is keep addin the ointment

There is no picture - and a pimple that doesn't heal needs to be seen by a docotr.
