Sores on my mouth

hahahahaha seriously, its herpes. im not kidding, have it checked it. probably just cold sores, which are like a really mild form of herpes, but still...

funny to me.
 
if they are cold/kanker sores, go fill up a little glass with hot faucet water and mix in a ton of salt and rinse it around the cuts for as long as you feel the need.

my moms a doctor and she told me this trick and it really works well, takes the hurt away and makes them heal quicker
 
Cracks or sores in the corner of the mouth can be rather annoying,

like a paper cut — small, and irritating. Fancy medical terms for this

condition include "angular stomatitis," "angular cheilitis," or

"perleche."

A number of different things can be behind the development of such cracks:

  • yeast infections
  • vitamin deficiencies (vitamin B2 or riboflavin)
  • iron-deficiency anemia (low red blood cells due to too little iron)
  • allergic reaction to some substance (particularly products

    used on the lips, such as lip gloss/stick/balm, and even dental

    care/oral hygiene products, such as toothpaste)
  • poorly fitting dentures (or no teeth or no dentures at all)

Sometimes applying an anti-yeast cream [such as ketoconazole (brand

name is Nizoral) that can be found over-the-counter (OTC) at your local

drugstore] to the area will work. You can also mix it with a little dab

of 1 percent hydrocortisone cream, also available OTC. Rub this mixture

over the area 2 - 3 times each day. If you don't see improvement in

under a week, or if the area becomes redder, more swollen, or terribly

uncomfortable, you'll need to make an appointment with your health care

provider or dermatologist. If you continue to have problems with

cracking at the corners of your mouth, check with your health care

provider to see if there are other measures you need to be taking, such

as using vitamin or iron supplements, applying only petroleum jelly on

the lips, switching to a milder baking soda based toothpaste, or being

properly fitted with dentures.
