Mouth Ulcer :A mouth ulcer is an open sore in the mouth, or rarely a break in the mucus membrane or the epithelium on the lips or surrounding themouth. The types of mouth ulcer are diverse, with a multitude of associated causes including: physical abrasion, acidic fruit, infection, other medical conditions, medications, and cancerous and nonspecific processes.Once formed, the ulcer may be maintained by inflammation and/or secondary infection. Two common types are apthous("canker sores") and cold sores (fever plisters oral herpes). Cold sores around the lip are caused by viruses.
Symptoms:
Canker sores may also be related to a temporarily reduced immune system because of a cold or flu, hormonal changes, mechanical irritation, or low levels of vitamin B12 or folate. Even biting the inside of the cheek or chewing a sharp piece of food can trigger a canker sore.
Canker sores may result from a genetic predisposition and are considered an autoimmune disease; they are not contagious.
