I will add that the Rx medicine I mentioned above works regardless of where the sore is located, on the lips, inside the mouth on the inner surface of the cheeks or lips, or on the gums.
Note: I also have an unfortunate tendency to bite the inside of my cheek when chewing, occasionally even drawing a little blood.
This results in a small cut or lesion that can take a long time to heal and is just as painful as a sore.
(Perhaps the trauma results in an actual sore, I don't know.)
For these bites this Rx also reduces the pain and greatly accelerates the healing.
I thought this "miracle drug" was going to be this weird unheard of drug until I saw the picture and than I laughed. That is a high potency topical steroid. Steroids are a very common drug used in medicine and have been around for a very long time. I give that drug out at least once a week for severe eczema and sometimes the people I give it too get upset because I am not giving them the "new and best drug." The thing is, none of the newer drugs work better than that for what I am treating, the drug companies just want you to think that. I wish more people reacted to it like you do, I would be so popular
I don't normally treat canker sores, but I just looked it up, and that is the first line treatment.
