Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint the lesion is appearing like canker sore, and it is the cause of sore area and can occur due to a number of causes like Physical injury, deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, stress, acid reflux etc. You can apply a numbing gel containing lidocaine or choline salicylate over it. You can take multivitamin supplements. Take Ibuprofen for pain. Suck on ice pops and do cold water rinses. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Avoid hot and spicy food and take a soft bland diet. In case if still there is no improvement consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
