What Causes A Raw, Whitish-gray Sore Between The Gums And Cheek?
I have what looks like a raw, whiteish-gray sore in the crease between the bottom of my gums and cheek on the right side. What concerns me is that it is swollen and tender both at the spot and under my jaw. My lymph nodes are also swollen and tender. What should I do about this and should I be concerned?

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
This is a mouth ulcer.Many reasons can contribute to ulcers,however treatment is symptomatic.
Apply quadragel or a soothing ointment on the area thrice daily 15 minutes before food.
Gargle warm saline daily.Check if you are on low iron levels.
Maintain a proper oral hygiene.
