One home remedy involves mixing equal parts liquid Benadryl and Kaopectate, rinse for 30 seconds to a minute and spit up to 6 times daily. Also, warm salt water rinses and an over the counter product, Colgate’s Peroxyl can effective.
If they are located on or near the lips, they may be herpes and there is no good home remedy. If inside the mouth, buy Orabase with benzocaine and dab onto ulcer with a q-tip. If the ulcer is from a burn, pure aloe vera is helpful. For candida lesions, usually look like white milk curds, oil of oregano, but it burns and can be diluted with water.
