A canker sore is a small, round lesion, white in the center and red around the edges, which can appear on the lip. Neither infectious nor contagious, it is painful and can interfere with chewing and even speech. In addition to the genetic factors that can favour its appearance, the main causes of canker sores include stress, fatigue, immune problems, certain medications, a possible food allergy, or variations in a woman's hormonal cycle. Although a canker sore generally resolves itself within ten days, it is possible to accelerate healing and reduce pain by applying analgesic or antiseptic gels directly to the lesion. There are also effective natural remedies to cure canker sores : mouthwashes with baking soda or warm salted water to reduce pain and inflammation. Last but not least, preventing the appearance of canker sores requires good dental health, and therefore good oral hygiene. It is also essential to consult a doctor.
