Aphthous ulcers: These are likely aphthous ulcers. Vitamin B12 and folate (folic acid) deficiency, stress, menstrual period, NSAIDS, other drugs have been known to be associated with these little recurring ulcers. If one ulcer lasts longer than a week or so something else is going on. We sometimes prescribe a steroid paste to help the pain .

For a week, I have had a normal gum colored, pain-less sore under my tongue. It feels like a little protruding round sac and looks like a little blister. Its more annoying then anything else because it causes me no discomfort. What could this be?
