Canker Sores (Aphthous Ulcers)
Canker Sores is a form of mouth
ulcer that is non-infectious but
tends to recur. It is commonly
present on the oral mucosa of the
cheeks, lips, tongue, and throat.
Canker Sores begins with a localised
swelling of the affected oral mucosa
to form a small round or oval shaped
blister. Within a day, the blister
bursts and becomes a whitish or
yellowish ulcer with a red margin.
