Everything you need to know about blisters and sores in the mouth

They can be white or yellow and form a “crater” surrounded by a red ring. They are quite painful but not contagious. They form on the inside of the mouth (in the mucous membranes) alone or in groups.

Blisters and sores in the mouth are more common in women than men and can occur at any age.  They last between 7 and 20 days and often come back often.

Mouth ulcers are characterized by:

• Pain
• Itch
• Crater-like wounds
• Burning sensation

The main causes of these wounds are:

• Low immune system  caused by disease or dietary problems.
• Damage to the mouth caused by brushing the teeth too hard, biting itself in the gums, floss, etc.

• Hormonal changes (common in women during their menstrual cycle).
• Allergic reactions to foods such as acids, citrus or spices.
• Gluten intolerance
• Stress.

Blisters often go away on their own, but you can cure them faster and make them go away with homemade remedies.

If there is no improvement after 3 weeks, you should consult your doctor and get treatment.
