Canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers, are small, annoying irritations inside the mouth that affect almost 20% of Americans. They are different from cold sores, which usually appear on the outside of the mouth and lips and are contagious. Canker sores are found on the inside of the mouth or on the tongue and often appear during times of stress. Canker sores are round or oval with a white or yellow center and a red border. You might notice a tingling or burning sensation a day or two before the sores actually appear. Canker sores are not contagious.
