I use to get those shit younger too. You got to see a dentist or your doctor. I don't know any "miracle home remedies" for this.

Avoid spicy foods though, and bruch your teeth more often. :)

I've gotten these quite often ever since I was a child. I find that using alcohol based mouthwash ever hour or two helps dramatically.

I have seen this website advertised on television, so it is finally a good time to try it out.

What Are the Treatments for Canker Sores?
An easy home remedy is to apply a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution (1 part hydrogen peroxide with 1 part water), then coat them with a small amount of milk of magnesia several times a day.

If sores are large, painful, or persistent, your dentist may prescribe an antimicrobial mouth rinse

I don't know why I ever got them but I haven't had any for awhile. I heard aggravation can cause them, sort of like stomach ulcers.

Never had this, fortunately. But do visit a specialist doctor.

I have a problem with this stuff too. What usually works for me is mouthwash made up of a teaspoon of baking soda and half a cup of warm water. See more natural remedies here (http://www.home-remedies-for-you.com/remedy/Canker-sores.html). I'd prefer to prevent them though. I always get them after I eat spicy foods or stuff like a bag of chips, so I try to avoid those.

Mouth ulcers!! Haha! I wondered what the hell they were at first.

This is an easy one. Salt water mouthwash. Brush your teeth regularly and stop chewing your lips.

I have one on my lower inner lip. It hurts so bad.

(Canker sores have nothing to do with STDs, and often come from biting your lip, which is how I got mine)
