Cold Sore or Canker Sore?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I got this about 4 days ago I noticed in the morning while brushing my teeth i have no idea if its because i cut myself or if its a cold sore? I saw somewhere the first outbreak can appear in the gum. It only hurts when i touch it otherwise it just slightly feels like something is there. Please let me know. Thank you imageimage
