Carmex on a sore INSIDE of my mouth?

A friend told me that she used Carmex inside her mouth on a sore on her lip. Ive had this really painful sore on the inside of my bottom lip close to the gums. Tender and kind of white in color. Anyhoo, I got Carmex today and wondered if this had worked for anyone else. And any tips for this spot that has been painful and has not diminished at all for over a week.

    That's probably a canker sore from the sounds of it and yeah they hurt (I have one now).

    Best treatment is to gargle with warm salt water and I also swish with antiacid before bed (being that it is a little ulcer in my mouth).

    Also for pain management, since those little buggers hurt, ORABASE works wonders as far as numbing and NOT washing off immediately.

    Happy treatment to ya!

    Sodium Lauryl Sulfate -SLS- in toothpaste may cause aphthous ulcers, commonly referred to as "canker sores

    Find a toothpaste with no SLS and you may find relief

    forget the carmex. eliminate acids from your diet, drink lotsa water, brush & floss daily, and see your dentist.
