Cold Sores vs. Canker Sores

I went to the doctors with a crazy cold sore which is residing inside the crevice on my bottom lip. I come to find out it is actually a canker sore. Apparently, canker sores develop on the soft tissues in your mouth. Unlike cold sores which occur on the surface of your lips. Also, a cold sore is a type of herpes and is contagious. Whereas my wonderful canker sore is not.

I can't tell you how idiotic I felt going to the doctor for what I thought was a cold sore. It turns out that my wonderful canker sore is actually infected. I was given some sort of mild steroid to take, told to gargle with salt water, and use Orajel for relief.
