Former Big Brother star Skye Wheatley has opened up about her health concerns in a revealing post to her Instagram stories.
WATCH: Skye Wheatley’s cancer scare as she details painful tongue ulcer
The reality TV star who found fame in season 11 of the show in 2014 told fans she feared that she has “oral cancer” after Googling “reasons” for tongue ulcers.
Telling fans she just couldn’t get rid of the mouth ulcers which she’s been suffering from on and off for weeks she revealed a visit to her doctor had proved fruitless after he’d sent her home with medication for oral thrush.
“So I’ve broken out in all these tongue ulcers but it literally happened about three weeks ago,” Skye confessed in the video post.
“… I’ve had a tongue ulcer before for a couple of days then they go away. But these ones kept persisting.”
“I went to the doctor and I was like ‘look at my tongue like, what the f**k’. He f**king Googled it and said ‘they look like tongue ulcers’,” Skye deadpanned.
She added: “And I’m like ‘yeah, I know they look like tongue ulcers and they feel like tongue ulcers and they’re exactly like tongue ulcers but can you please explain to me why they’re not going away?'”
The mum-of-one explained the doctor prescribed a “thrush mouthwash” that she had to swallow, but felt it hadn’t “done anything to help”.
“I’ve been Googling frantically and it kind of looks like I’ve got oral cancer,” Skye said choosing her words carefully.
“[It’s] a possibility that it could be that because have the symptoms, I just don’t know.
“Anyway, let me know if you guys have experienced this or if you’ve experienced tongue ulcers sticking around for the amount of time mine are because I’m actually genuinely starting to freak out.”
