Mouth ulcer
A mouth ulcer or canker sore is a painful open sore inside the mouth caused by a break in the mucous membrane. The condition is also called aphthous stomatitis.
Symptoms
A mouth ulcer appears as a yellow or grey oval, on average about 3 mm across, with an inflamed red border. The grey, white, or yellow colored area within the red boundary is due to the formation of layers of fibrin. The ulcer, which itself is often extremely painful when agitated, may be accompanied by a painful swelling of the lymph nodes below the jaw, which can be mistaken for toothache.
