this is called aphthous ulcer, if you mean that it is inside your mouth. this usually occur due to unaccustomed stress. you need to take multi vitamins especially vitamin B supplement. you can apply a local anesthetic gelly ( made for local application on oral mucosa only) on the area, to prevent it from paining and faster healing
