A member asked:

Have a sore area on top of mouth between gums and cheek with white patch.put orajel on it and the gel turned white and balled up why would that happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal occurrence : Having a mouth sore in this area is probably a apthous ulcer or canker sore. The white patch in mouth is tissue surface layer sloughing off, think of scab on skin. The medication can turn color and collect with this patch to ball up. Spot will heal in week time.
