Chances asked:


I got a canker sore on the inside of my bottom lip three weeks ago. It got really bad and spread over the whole bottom of my lip. It has taken a really long time to heal, mainly because it hasn’t been able to stay dry with my tongue being right there, and it being on the inside of my mouth. You can see some of the canker sore on the outside of my lip but you have to look very closely.

The white caps have formed, but they are taking FOREVER to fall off. Is there anything that can expedite that process?

As an FYI, I have used EVERYTHING, salt water gargles, liquid benedryl rinses, apple cider vinegar, milk of magnesia, hydrogen peroxide, I’m taking vitamin C and Lysine, drinking water, and everything else in between. If it is one of these things that can help speed up the final healing process, can you tell me which it is?

   Try getting some Arm and Hammer and placing it on the sore and leaving it on there as long as you can. Good luck and I hope this helps!
