Canker Sore

by bluebell81, Jul 31, 2007 01:06AM
I have gotten canker sores all my life. Normally I get a couple a year.

Does it mean anything that a few weeks after my exposures I got a canker sore on the inside of my cheek, and then as I recovered from mono I noticed a canker sore type lesion on my left tonsil?

Vitamin C deficiency! Take your vitamins. :)

No it doesn't.  Canker sores are a common condition caused by bacterial infection.  My acupuncturist also says that it can be precipitated by stress, or by eating too much spicy foods.

I have one now (a few days after a real risky exposure). For me, it's nothing but stress. I get cold / canker sores when I get really stressed out.
