Canker soars anyone?

[madmax22425]

I keep getting canker sore after canker sore. All of them have been on my lower lip, once one heals it seems like another one forms. I put hydrogen peroxide on it twice a day, but doesnt seem to help. I have never been sexually active, but these are a PITA, and hurt like a beast when i try to eat something.

If the lesion is canker sore( aphthous ulcer or stomatitis), there are many management option available, depending on your medical condition, frequency of  attacks, and severity of pain. Oral pathologists or oral medicine specialists are probably the best candidates to offer you optimal care. Salt is not a good regimen, either. If you can not visit a specialist for the time being, OTC topical cream containing anesthetics would relieve the pain temporarily. Topical agent containing corticosteroid is generally the first choice of treatment. However, topical steroid is a prescribed medication. Food intolerence may be implicated in the pathogenesis of aphthous ulcer, you may document  a diet diary , which may reveal what food triggers the onset of ulcer. The common culprit of foods are milk, egg white, chocolate, wheat, citrus fruit.

Seeing an oral pathologist or oral medicine specilaist is advised. Topical application of hydrogen peroxide is probably not a good idea.
