A member asked:

Are herpes ulcers or sores supposed to hurt? i may have one or two in my mouth on both sides of my cheeks but they arent bothering me. could it be herpes or am i just paranoid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A herpetic ulcer occurs on lips, not inside mouth. A Aphthous ulcer[canker sore] occurs in the mouth and can be painful. The sore lasts about 5 days and is caused from stress, anxiety, and high acidic diet.
