Are these Canker sores? They spread out more and more and seem to get quite big. It's been a week now and I might wait another week to see if it heals otherwise i see an doctor. Excuse the quality but my phone wouldn't focus right.
I have had cankers since I was about 10. They progressively worsened until my 40’s. I had plenty of doctor / dentist visits including a referral to an ear nose throat specialist and an allergy test. No body could actually help or tell me what was wrong.
After a particularly bad breakout of cankers in my throat my wife dragged me to acupuncture. Although I can’t say the act of acupuncture itself helped having the therapist read me the riot act of having to take care of my self or risk getting throat cancer woke me up.
I was prescribed a candida diet. It was very strict and I followed it for six weeks. Not only did my cankers subside I also felt much better. Now when I can feel when it’s time to do a reset. I go on an elimination diet for a couple of weeks to reset the system and life improves.
When breakouts do happen I find that hot salt water helps the healing process and provides some relief. I try to stay away from topical pain meds as they seem to slow the healing process. At night after brushing I will have a spoon of Greek yogurt and then suck on a little bit of Manuka honey in an effort to balance the system.
I have family members who suffer from Chrons and as crazy as it sounds I feel canker out breaks are a similar response to gut imbalance and stress. In my case it just presents as cankers.
They were first reddish and a bit sore now I'm seeing whitish spots
Several ulcers a year since I was a kid. SLS-free toothpaste, no tomatoes or fizzy drinks, a full year without toothpaste, mouthwash: nothing really worked, and my blood tests were normal.
Then I found something cheap and over the counter. I haven't had a single ulcer in the months since. It can take a few weeks or months before you know if it works, so give it time.
Edit: What worked for me is a high-strength B-complex (details in the comments). No need to watch the video to get the answer. It's there for anyone who wants the full story and the research.
I made a short documentary about what I tried, the research, and a safety point to know before trying it:

What has worked for you?
Suffering from recurrent tongue ulcers from past 1 year. One small white patch come and then it spread all over the tongue and its stays for 5-6 days and it get healed for 2 days and again the pattern repeats.
Anyone knows what is this? How to cure it?
Also it don't hurt in the morning but after afternoon or at evening it start getting burning sensation.
I woke up a week ago with these little white dots on the inside of my lip, no pain just looked like some irritation. As the day went on, the area got more irritated. Now, it’s been a week and I have a Horrible Weird white grey patch on the inside of my mouth that HURTS LIKE CRAZY and kind of tastes salty? The first image is from today and the second image is from two days ago. I’m saddened and scared to ask, am I now a member of the canker club?
