I always have them.. They take at least a week to go away.. EEK, so I suffer for at least a week, and it hurts like hell.
 I have two, right next to each other, on the inside of my lip, right now. I bit there, accidentally and yea.. Sometimes it forms on its own. Usually when I bit my mouth in any place, a canker sore appears.Canker sores are different from cold sores. Cold sores is are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). I don't know much about it, so I won't ramble on about it. There are various reasons why canker sores can appear. It could be: stress; internal damage of the mouth, such as biting the side of your mouth or when eating something that scrapes against your gums, etc.; infections or allergies, etc. I don't know all of the reasons, so I only stated the ones I know of. Inflammation of the gum areas can result in canker sores as well. Anyway, IF you bite your lip/mouth when you eat and then a canker sore appears (after it stops bleeding, if it bleeds), it's because of the bacteria in your mouth. It's said that certain mouthwashes and/or toothpastes can either cause it or make it worse. BUT, there are special medications, as pick_the_scab mentioned about in her post, that you can take to help it heal faster. Also, I heard there is a toothpaste that actually reduces the pain of a canker sore as well as aiding in healing it. Hope what I said helped. I talked to my friend about it, and she told me about the whole bacteria-in-mouth thing lol |
