Has anyone ever experienced mouth ulcers also called canker sores while having HS. My doctor said it could be the stress from my body reacting. If anyone has or has had this problem, please give me tips on easing the pain. I've had up to four in my mouth at one time not to mention the HS flare ups. Thank you greatly for the help!

    I've been getting mouth ulcers a lot when I was around 8 - 16 years old. Back then I didnt have any HS symptoms but the doctor said that they were appearing due to stress. I have found out that any kind of mouth wash helps with the pain, they kinda get numb after use. Doctors back then prescribed a ton of things (in-mouth ointment, an antiseptic fluid of some sort in a small bottle etc) but none of them did it for me like the mouth wash I mentioned. Also, I've noticed that applying some raw aloe (with nothing extra added in it) helps as well as it forms a thin layer of top of it.

    I get ulcers inside my mouth and throat. My Dr identified them as one if the many HS symptoms. It happens more often when my flares are really bad its a sign of infection one Dr said. Salt water helps me. My doctor has also prescribed me numbing wash that is a gel consistency. It didnt have a taste just weird texture.

    I have always been prone canker sores, abcess's and ear infection, never related the combination until after I was diagnosed with HS... my doctors all told me it was not related, but I don't believe them
