mouth ulcer
Painful inner-cheek lesion
A mouth ulcer is a small, painful sore on the inside of the mouth—on the gums, tongue, inner cheeks, or lips.
Most are canker sores that appear without clear cause and heal within a week or two.
Mouth ulcers make eating and drinking uncomfortable: I can't enjoy anything acidic with this mouth ulcer.
