Bryan asked:


I have some sort of hereditary problem in my mouth that causes canker sores. I get the ones with the white/green coating over them. They are very painful, and I get them one to two times a month. They last usually one to three weeks, and get HUGE. I sometimes get to the point where I can’t eat, drink, or brush my teeth! Do you have any suggestions to help me get rid of them or the pain? (If you are a doctor, please let me know)

I was brushing my teeth one day cause they be yellow than a mug, and i accidently rammed my toothbrush into my bottom gum. It’s been a day and now i have 3 little canker sores on the same spot. Can cankers sores be formed like that? i thought it was from not enough sleep

Jocelyn asked:


I feel like somebody is repeatedly stabbing me in the mouth. It is so painful right now. I have it on my lower mouth on my gum.I get canker sores very often though. Is there something wrong with me? I’m in extreme pain right now. What will make it feel better?

Epeitomatrine asked:


My job is so boring. I just sit and do nothing for hours until a customer shows up and then I make sure they’re who they are and send them through so I have a lot of time where I twiddle my fingers and unfortunately I bite my lip (eh, it pays well and has benefits so it’s ok for now…). Sometimes the inside but then I start biting the inner edge of my lip and then I bite further right on the lip. I’m very prone to canker sores usually when stressed. Since this one is not in my mouth I’ve been using Abreva on it. I have no idea if it will work but it does a good job of numbing the area. I know that stuff is for cold sores but if I don’t put it on there I end up biting it more. So will it help heal it other than keeping me from biting it? Could it create a sterile environment on the area where applied to keep bacteria and such off of it? I did research and they said canker sores aren’t cold sores (DUH!) and said nothing about it. Most canker sores are found inside the mouth so I’m guessing that’s why there’s no info since you shouldn’t ingest Abreva. Anyone have experience with Abreva and these canker sores?

Thanks.
No, it’s a canker sore. I have doctors in the family. The question I’m asking isn’t if it is a canker sore, because it is, but if anyone has had any experience with Abreva and canker sores. It seems to be working fine right now but my doctor hasn’t recommended using Abreva since it is for cold sores.

This is what it looks like but on my lip. Not this.

I have not been sexually active except for with my current partner and we’re both STD free. Ugh, sex with more than one person is NASTY! It is a little farther out than this.

Already been to the doctor. I know it’s an ulcer. But I’ll keep using Abreva to keep the ulcerated area clean if anything. Has anyone had any aggravated symptoms from their toothpaste like it says in the article (containing the certain chemical). From what I know I have no food allergies and it only happens when I bite my lip constantly or the inside of my mouth. My mother use to tell me that it had to do with not getting certain nutrients but which ones? Anyone have any ideas how to keep myself from biting my lip or inside of the mouth?
