Canker sores (aphthous ulcers) are small, painful sores inside the mouth.
Canker sores are very common. The cause is unknown, but stress seems to play a role—for example, a college student may get canker sores during final exam week. A canker sore appears as a round white spot with a red border. The sore almost always forms on soft, loose tissue on the inside of the lip or cheek; on the tongue, the floor of the mouth, or soft palate; or in the throat. Small canker sores (less than ½ inch in diameter) often appear in clusters of two or three; generally, they disappear by themselves within 10 days and do not leave scars. Larger canker sores are less common; they are irregularly shaped, can take many weeks to heal, and frequently leave scars. People with AIDS often have large canker sores that persist for weeks.
Many people who get canker sores get them repeatedly—often several times a year.

it can come from biting your tounge... when it burns, take some guaze and make a square and put it in your mouth on the sore... and sleep with it... half of it will be gone by morning and do it the next night and more than likely it'll be gone in less than 2 days.

Could be a condition called "erythema migrans" (a.k.a. "geographic tongue"), which is an autoimmune attack of the epithelium of your tongue.
Steroids may help. If your dentist is comfortable prescribing them, he/she can do so. Magic mouthwash is also useful.

Hi Gandg
I can't tell you that anything that the FDA hasn't approved will help or cure.....However if I were you, I would go to a healthfood store and make purchase of Black Walnut Juice. I use it like a tea...........
