So a couple days ago, I bit the living crap out of my upper lip. I dont know my my mouth decided to snag some nice lip while I was chowing down a burger but now I have an awful canker sore from hell. Then just a couple minutes ago I was eating and I snagged it again, THE PAIN!!! Now its all swollen to shit and Im probably gonna end up biting it again and the sore will never heal.

Yeah, canker sores pretty much suck. It's amazing they have the ability to heal at all.

You know what works for canker sores? Alum. You can find it in the spice section of the grocery store. Its a white powder and you just apply some to the sore and keep it on there for a few minutes every day. It clears up after a couple days depending on how large the sore is.
Warning, it will hurt like a sonuvabitch. But it works.

Brtual, nothing worse than when your mouth decides to fuck up on all it's own and you end up chewing your lip or cheek. Kills.
Personally, I almost never have canker sores, but when it gets dry in the winter (mind you, that's like 2 days a year here) my lower lip splits like a bitch without fail. Pure pain. The worst part of it is that the uneducated may think it's some sort of cold sore, so I walk around worrying about looking like a disease carrying freak....even though I'm totally herpes free. Well.......up there.

I almost never get canker sores either, but I get the split thing every winter too. Though I don't think anybody confuses it for anything, it never tends to be noticeable. It just hurts like the dickens.

Mouthwash. Whenever I get a canker I rinse with some listerine once or twice a day. Will be gone in 2-3 days, guaranteed.

Listerine eh? I think I'll try that. Ive done the Alum thing Idol. I just dont see how that works. It hurts like a bitch and I felt that aggravating the sore just made it stay longer.
I get canker sores a lot. Well more when I was younger, it was ridiculous how bad it was sometimes. I'd go for months with canker sores, some would finally start to heal as another would grow, I was miserable whenever I ate. The ones near the lips are always the worst. But yea, this fucker is getting bigger, theres 2 of them actually right next to each other, they are actually combining forces to form one huge bitch of a sore. Damn I wish they would go away a lot quicker.
