No: This is probably nothing more than the healing process starting. It should get better daily. If things get worse, or if healing doesn't improve in a week, get it re examined!

No cure needed: It should heal on its own within a week or two, if it is actually a canker sore.

Time: The tissue is irritated. Give it time to heal. The redness and canker sore should be healed within two weeks.

I had a 3 mm wide canker sore in my mouth that has healed about 3 weeks ago. However, in its spot, there is now a white line/spot/scar that is there since the 3 weeks. It's inside the skin. What can it be? Is this a cancerous mouth patch or ulcer?
