Canker Sores
Canker sores, also known as aphthous ulcers, are small, painful lesions that develop on the inside of the mouth, typically on the cheeks, lips, tongue, or the soft tissues at the back of the throat. These sores are different from cold sores (oral herpes), which are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Canker sores are not contagious and are not caused by a virus. Canker sores often begin as a tingling or burning sensation, followed by the appearance of a round or oval sore with a white or yellow center and a red border. They can be painful and uncomfortable, especially when eating, drinking, or speaking. Minor injuries or trauma to the mouth, such as accidental biting, dental work, or vigorous brushing. Certain foods or substances that may irritate the mouth, such as acidic or spicy foods, citrus fruits, or alcohol. These are the most common and typically small (less than 1 centimeter in diameter). They usually heal within a week or two without scarring.
