A member asked:

Are canker sores related to hsv1 ? i get about 4-5 of them inside my mouth a year. i recently learned i have hsv1 2.82h but have never had symptoms.

Possibly: Canker sores can be related to HSV 1, 2 and other viruses. Best to see your doctor to exam the sores and confirm this suspicion. Good luck
