Having had experience with both, for me at least, canker sores are inside the
mouth
on the cheek lining or gum; they are quite sore and feel round. (Yes I do have
gluten
intolerance). I have never found anything that helped. They go away in about a
week.
Cold sores are usually on the corners of the lip, oozy, yellow crust. Rather
than being
round, they are shaped more like an erosion. For me, they're almost always a
response
to eating salted corn chips (which I almost never eat any more). Lysine always
helps;
they're healing by the next day.
I'm surprised to find out that canker sores are related to gluten intolerance.
Somehow
I thought everybody got them.
