Canker

A canker can be seen as a round white-grey spot with a red border. It is usually accompanied by pain that lasts four to ten days. The pain worsens if your tongue rubs the canker or when you eat hot or spicy food, salt, or vinegar. Cankers are recurrent in some people and thus you may get them several times a year. Severe sores can cause fever, swollen neck glands, and malaise. Canker sores may resemble sores caused by herpes simplex virus (cold sores), but cankers are NOT caused by this virus.
