Aphthous ulcer, also known as a canker sore, is a small, shallow, often painful lesion that develops on the soft tissues in your mouth or at the base of your gums. The exact cause is uncertain but some possible factors include stress, minor mouth injuries, certain types of food sensitivities, or deficiencies in certain vitamins, such as B-12, zinc, folate, or iron. It may also be triggered by hormonal shifts, immune system problems, or certain diseases. It is not contagious and usually heal on their own within one to two weeks.
