Is this a canker sore?!
Question: I saw the side of my cheek with what looked like dried blood.
I've had canker sores all my life and more recently. I know in the past few days I've had way too much citrus and today had tomatoes and pizza. I read online now that those are likely causes for canker sores. Usually though when I look in my mouth they are a glazed over white shape. I've never seen this redness before. Maybe this is just the beginning.
Here's a pic:

Please let me know what you think...There's no other spots or bumps in my mouth. There's only a slight noticeable thing when I touch it but by no means pain.
Please!!!!
Thanks in advance!

It looks like a blood blister that sometimes happens when you lightly bite your cheek (more pinched). The color, your description, the lack of alot of pain and the location are all indicators of a blood blister. They go away on their own in a couple of days. Sometimes you'll be left with a canker sore at that time!
They start out read, then turn light color in a circle usually.
At first they kinda look like a read blister.
Acidic foods will do it.
OMG its herpes
OK THIS POINT OF VIEW IS FROM A MOTHER....
#1 do you have insurance
#2 make an appointment with either your Dentist or a Family Doctor
#3 CALM DOWN it is not anything as serious as you think. get some ambasole(??) go the the drug store and ask the pharmacists for this ,
