A guess only!: You might be associating the opening of your salivary duct which looks like a small bump to the canker sore, when in fact, it was there all the time. It is also possible you have a neoplasm (growth) or something else. See you dentist who can examine you and tell you for sure.

Sure it was canker?: Aphthous stomatitis involving the common canker sore can occur in up to 15% of americans, and may involve some bacteria like staph epidermidis. However, similar-appearing aphthous ulcers can be seen with herpes, crohn's disease, and other systemic disorders, if you have multiple aphthous ulcers, frequently recurring ones. Or question about residual pathology please have the lesions checked out.
