Not contagious, heal by themselves.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think that you don't have to worry about having a cancer sore because they are not contagious and can heal on themselves. They can be triggered by certain foods like citrus, or certain conditions such flu or having dentures.
Rinsing with baking soda and water or salt water, using honey on them can help healing.
You may need to avoid certain foods with high acidity such lemon or toothpaste.
Hope I have answered the question.
