They are also painful white ulcers, an open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane that fails to heal in the mouth. They appear most often on the tongue, inside the cheeks, and inside the lips. Unlike cold sores, canker sores are not contagious, but in some people, they keep coming back.
