Can cocaine cause sores in the mouth that look like canker sores? if you taste the cocaine for a numbing effect
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Cocaine can cause sores in the mouth. It was used for years as a local anesthetic in ENT surgery. It causes vasoconstriction resulting in a reduced blood flow and localized tissue necrosis.
