There's a sore on my boyfriend's inner upper lip. it's white/yellow with red around it. he gets them when stressed. is it a canker sore or a cold sore?

Canker sore: Ouch, both are quite painful ! If it is not painful then it may be something else. Cold sores tend to return in the same spot on the border between the lip and skin.
