Remove them: Take your dentures out at night and clean them very thoroughly. It could be a yeast issue or a wide variety of trauma originated lesions. Do warm salt water rinses or ask your doctor for a prescription for peridex. Most of these issue resolve within a week to ten days. I'm sorry you are dealing with this. If it last longer than a week it would be wise to see your dentist. Best of luck :)

Denture sores: If we knew more information we could help you better over the internet, but the proper way to answer your questions and get you comfortable sooner, better, and for a longer period of time is to be evaluated by a dentist. When were the dentures made? When were they last relined? Do you wear them at night? Do the sores improve if dentures left out? Most likely sores from ill fit of dentures.

Adjustment needed: Your denture needs to be adjusted and probably relined or replaced. See your dentist to make that happen as soon as possible. There is no need to suffer like that. Most likely those symptoms are caused by your ill-fitting denture.
