First, cradle caps, and now these blasted ulcers.
Guess I was asleep too when these were discussed at med school (ditto
the entire dermatology course).
And another thing; what does 'aphthous' actually mean? Bet tis was a
bloke who wanted to impress g/f.
I usually bluff my way by mumbling when they ask me: "what causes them,
doctor?" (haven't a clue)
I treat them with Chlorhexadene mouth wash (Oraldene).
Don't ask me why. It works, or according to the sticker on the window
of the customers counter of the Biritsh Consulate in Barbados: "I have
no reason for it, it's my policy".
