Causes of Canker Sores
from:Millions of people get canker sores every year. These painful
and unsightly lesions that form in the mouth and on the lips are
small white ulcers that can make life very uncomfortable for a
day or two. More annoying than truly harmful, a canker sore is
usually not serious enough to warrant a doctor visit, yet you
may need to apply medicinal cream to ease the discomfort of this
small but powerful sore place. If your sore stems from the
Herpes simplex virus, your doctor can prescribe an ointment to
address prevailing symptoms. You also can buy over-the-counter
medications that will help to control the discomfort associated
with the sore.
Although the herpes virus is the most common and likely
culprit, many people believe that exposure to certain elements
spur the development of these lesions at certain times. Here is
a rundown of the most popular sources of blame:
1. Sunshine. Those with sensitive skin may prefer to avoid sun
exposure during the peak hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., as
this is when the rays have their most direct effect on the
earth's surface. Sunbathers sometimes get a canker sore after
several hours on the beach or poolside. Swimmers comprise
another likely target group. While in the sun, wear sunscreen to
protect your face and skin from the worst of the hot rays.
2. Acidic foods. Tomatoes, citrus fruits, chocolate, and other
tangy food items may help to encourage a canker sore's
development. If you discover a link between your consumption of
these foods and the emergence of a canker sore, reduce your
intake of these items or make health-conscious substitutions.
For example, have pizza or pasta with white sauce instead of
tomato sauce occasionally.
3. Stress. Many folks feel that undergoing significantly
stressful events can bring out a canker sore. Try to balance the
stress in your life with periods of rest or relaxation, perhaps
listening to classical music or keeping a journal. Learning to
manage stress in your life can help to guard your health from a
number of adverse conditions and diseases.
Canker sores can grow or spread, so don't puncture them in
hopes of making them disappear more quickly. Some people who
have canker sores dislike kissing others for fear of spreading
the sore. It might be a good idea to refrain until the sore goes
away. If you have a sore on your mouth, wash it gently with warm
water and mild soap. Avoid using the same washcloth on other
parts of the face or body unless it has been rinsed out
thoroughly. You may prefer not sharing drinking glasses with
another person until a sore has disappeared completely. If a
sore persists for more than two weeks, see your doctor, as it
may be something other than a canker sore.
