Question:
Are Cankers like cold sores??? My Dr seems to think so, but Ive read on the internet alot that they are different... Cankers are not Herpes or are they???

Answer:
u can have cankers> that are herpes...
and cankers that are just canker sores.

if u get the kind that are just 1 every now n then, just a canker. usually on the loose flappy tissue of ur mouth like inside of lip, cheeks...

if u get like a bunch of clustered cankers> prob oral herpes. also these will be all over the mouth, like roof of the mouth, the tounge.

cold sores> are on the boarder of the lip.
and if you really question it, go to a dif doctor> and get the sores tested

Answer:
<P>I always get cankers, usually on the inside of my lips.&nbsp; Ill get one if I bang my lip, bit it or before getting a cold.. This past canker I had in the back of my throat!! Then I got a fever and all those symptoms, then a sore on my vagina, and more cankers in my mouth!!! I found out I have herpes.. Well the only way I can think of how I got it is from myself!! I did have a canker when I was diagnosed too..&nbsp; Either that or Ive had it for years and years and didnt know..</P>
