Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small, painful patches or lumps that appear inside the mouth. These lesions are common and generally heal on their own within a few days to a couple of weeks. While most mouth ulcers are harmless, persistent or recurrent ulcers can indicate underlying health issues, and non-healing ulcers may be a sign of oral cancer, requiring immediate medical attention.
