White stuff on canker sore in the morning?

When I have a developed canker sore, I always wake up with some kind of layer over the wound. It looks and feels like dense phlegm, but I think it numbs the sore until the layer fades away due to movement.

Is this the body’s way of healing the canker sore, or is it some kind of infection

    Infection. Get yourself some generic Lysine from any vitamin section of the grocery store and take 250mg a day for a week, it takes care of that stuff fast.
