What Can Cause Canker Sores In The Mouth?

I noticed a round flat white patch on the outer part of my labia minora this morning. There is no pain. It s not pitted but it resembles a canker sore. I have been tested a week ago as well as the only partner I have ever had of two years. We are both negative. I was in a accident recently and they have mever on heavy pain meds. My mouth is full of canker sores which is not uncommon but I never touch them. What could this be down there?? I am a little nervous.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of canker sore in mouth. These occur due to various factors like hot and acidic food , any injury to mucosa , stress , hormonal changes or some medicines.

They usually go away within few days by their own.

I would suggest you to :-

- Start doing warm saline and baking soda rinses .

- Apply orabase gel before having meal to reduce burning sensation.

- Do betadine rinses also for twice a day .

If condition doesn't subside in a weak then consult oral pathologist for proper diagnosis and then go for biopsy by taking sample from oral mucosa.

Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment or drug like sucralfate .

Also start taking Vitamin B complex supplement. Avoid drinking and smoking.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
