SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK.

it sucks being a victim of oral herpes.

Yes it does.

I got oral herpes 2 years ago.

/edit:From a girl.

/edit again: Young woman.

Aren't coldsores oral herpes? Canker sores are different. But both are a bitch.

Yeah, I guess it's kinda obvious that I don't have oral herpes now since I apparently don't know too much about it

but yes, extremely extremely painful.

Yeah, once I had a frickin' attack of them or something...I literally had 10 all over my mouth. It was the most horrid thing ever.

You can have herpes inside your mouth, so if you DO have canker sores, the cold sores on the outside can affect the sores on the inside.

Anyways, I also have canker sores every now and then. And they're usually more than one at a time. And they tend to last in my mouth for about two weeks at a time. It sucks so bad. I tend to accidentally bite the inside of my mouth or I'm eating chips, which occasionally scrape against my gums. That usually leads to canker sores, since it gets infected. Plus, our mouth is like a living bacterial breeding ground.

That's why NOW I HAVE CORSODYL GEL AND MOUTHWASH! It's only available in the UK, so I got my sister to bring back some. YEA! >=] I've read online that it makes canker sores heal so much faster, where some people were unable to feel anymore pain after 3-5 days.

MOVED TO LIFESTYLE > HEALTH

jk Betty. <3

f**k my cankersore is now a LINE.

I CANT EVEN SMILE WITHOUT CRINGING sigh I washed my mouth out with salt water. hurt like a bitch.

I KNOW YOU WISH YOU HAD THIS:

are you stressed

btw the canker sore treatments you can buy at a drugstore really help

Betty, I'm going to stick this in Health, obviously move it back if you have a massive issue.

ANd yeah, it really DOES bite. I hate them on your upper gum, for some reason that always seems to be worst.

-Topic Moved-

me never had that shit cuz me PURE !

Damn it...I have one right now.
Salt DOES hurt like a bitch. Even one tiny grain.

Yeah, they always happen to me when I accidentally bite my mouth when I'm chewing gum while talking.

OOOHHHHHHH my backseat modding worked...


Anyways, Betty, you should try rubbing it with a qtip (VERY LIGHTLY) that is soaked in mouthwash (preferably Listerine > Scope). It should clear up some of the bacteria and it should feel a little better afterwards.

it has now officially reached half an inch in length.

LEGITIMATELY, WTF


but thnx christina, i'll go ask my parents where they keep the listerine x_x

When it's hurting a lot, just take some listerine and keep it in your mouth for at least 30 seconds. It might (most likely) be painful, but afterwards it should feel a little better. It's because the bacteria in your mouth and whatnot are being burned away! :D Or at least that's my reasoning. :>

LOLOL IM TEARING

but it feels better now, probably because I was in so much pain with listerine in my mouth

lol it's supposed to numb it. It helped speed up the heeling process, at least for me it did.

Oh god, they do suck. I use to get the worse sores from my braces all over my mouth. >_> I'm so happy to get my braces off within the next few weeks.

I haven't had one in years. I hope I didn't just jinx myself. I guess I have good oral hygiene Ever since I cleaned up my diet, I haven't had one.

it went away a LOT faster than I expected. THANKS CHRISTINAAAAAAAA <3

now I know what to do for all future cases :]

f**k, I have one now. I don't see what it has to do with hygiene, eating habits, or anything like that though; they seem pretty inevitable whenever you get some sort of cut in your mouth. Or my mouth, I guess. This was caused by a toothbrush.

=/ have fun with the listerine.

I cannot STAND canker sores.

I hate the salt gargling more, though.

It didn't actually burn nearly as badly as I expected, it jusr tasted terrible.

I had that too one time.
Everyone was like "There's something on your lip. And it's bleeding"
And then I'd be all like "STFUNUBGTFOMAHFACEz0RS".

Not fun.
