[h=2]About[/h]
Mouth ulcers are small sores found in the soft tissue inside the lips and cheeks. They usually appear white and raised. They can be extremely painful.
[h=2]Causes[/h]
With Crohn's disease mouth ulcers can appear spontaneously, especially in a flare up. They can also be caused by injury (e.g. biting the lip) or as a reaction to foods or toothpaste.
[h=2]Treatment[/h]
You can buy gels over the counter to apply to the ulcer. Home remedies include rinsing the mouth with saltwater or dabbing vinegar or lemon juice on the ulcer (though this method is painful!).
