Can a canker sore be under tongue, off to the side, around red area & be a slightly raised short oval shaped sensitive but not really painful spot ?

Ulcer: It sounds like an aphthous ulcer, would recommend seeing an ENT or dermatologist. Sometimes these can be due to viruses.

YES: It can be all of the above or it could possibly be something else. If it does not resolve on its own, consider having the sores checked by a dentist or dr.

Ulcer: Location not unusual, but canker sores usually caveated rather than raised. Usually last 10 days - 2 weeks and heal on their own. If clusters appear,may take longer to heal. See your Dentist for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment(laser or palliative) or observation.

Canker sore under my tongue (white center, red border, quite painful). It's been about a week and the initial site is almost gone but now there's a reddish patch to the side of that site. Can canker sores do this? Is this the start of a new sore?
