How long does Canker Sore Last ?

Hello,

I keep getting these sores in the mouth and it takes a 1 week for them to heal, is that normal ?

I though in normal immune system they are gone in few days, why does my take 1 week to heal.

Canker sores aren't stds, nor are they herpes.

Canker sores are white and inside the mouth.  Cold sores are caused by herpes type 1, and are blisters that appear usually on or around the mouth.

And either can take a week or so to heal - not sure where you are getting the few days from.
