A member asked:
Are all canker sores considered as open sores? do they considered as open sores until the the day they disappear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aphthous stomatitis: Any lesion is "open" if not covered by intact skin or mucous membrane, like the lining of hte mouth. That includes aphthous stomatitis (canker sores) until they heal.
