General & Family Physician,  's  Response
t is not clear what causes apthous ulcers (canker sores). Apthous ulcers are small, painful, and shallow sores that can appear white or gray surrounded by a red halo. They usually appear on moveable, soft tissue inside the mouth -- the tongue, throat (including tonsils and uvula), and inner cheeks. Anywhere from two to fifteen ulcers can appear at one time and can individually last up to two WEEKS.
