I'm really getting nervous about these soars I have in my mouth. Theres a few on them.....theres one on the back of my lip, (that's the worse), then theres another one on my gums.

I know this is a little paranoid but could it be something like cancer.

I highly doubt it since I'm only 20, but I just have a fear of cancer after seeing what my Grandmother went through.

I have no health insurance so there's no way I can find out. Not till the health care cost finally gets decreased for Wal Mart employees......then I'll finally be covered!

First thing that comes to my mind would be a canker sore. Nothing life threating, and it's easy to remedy with OTC ointment.

Do a Google image search to see if they look the same.

I saw on MSN today that Walmart is opening up health clinics in some Walmarts. The cost for a visit will be $40-$50/visit.

I almost forgot, Anbesol makes a gel, which I think has some antibiotic in it, and it works well on sores in your mouth. It's the same stuff you can use on babies when they are teething.

Try using slightly hot, but more warm salt water to gargle in - then spit...
Do this several times a day - the sores should clear up.... just like the sea water will help sores to heal so will this mixture.
