"Canker sore" is not a medical term, and it is only used in North America. There is an archived thread on this in the past. Matthew Ferguson 57 (talk) 07:33, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
I don't think the North America thing should be removed. It was supported by a source. And many readers will have never heard that term before. Matthew Ferguson 57 (talk) 07:36, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
This is so people can find information, right? Whether they already know medical terms or not? For very many Wikipedia searchers, "canker sore" is the term, and no others are known. The many North American Wikipedia readers who search "canker sore" and arrive at this article, should not have to read past the "also termed" area to learn that they have landed at the correct article.
More articles in PUBMED than, e.g., "recurring oral aphthae." Latin and medical are not synonyms.
Respecting the most common usages, one review begins thus:

Abstract
Amlexanox appears to be most effective overall. Amlexanox 5% paste reduces ulcer size, pain duration, and healing time.

the common name outside North America? Does the average layperson (and remember, laypeople are WHO WE ARE WRITING FOR) know what aphtomalous stomalicitis is off the tip of their tongues? have they EVER even HEARD the term? or are they likely to just call it a mouth sore? if America has one common term, and the rest of the English countries have no common term, that doesn't mean we use Latin. Furthermore, there's no policy against article titles only being common in certain countries. there's all kinds of articles with names that only folks in the UK have heard of. And that's fine. If other articles have north American names, that's also fine. Our articles should have ENGLISH names, though, if any exist. Firejuggler86 (talk) 03:22, 9 April 2021 (UTC) Well, one can have an occasional canker sore (I get them from eating fruit high in citric acid) without having full-blown aphthous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:D13F:E4D0:E6E3:738A (talk) 23:12, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Personally I consider it the best treatment. For those who are not familiar with Policresulen, it is a liquid thing, when apply on the ulcer, it will cause an immense pain that makes me cry. But after that a layer of died cells is formed, and as such pain is completely eliminated. It lasted for about 24 hours. Golopotw (talk) 14:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Everyone I know calls this a cold sore. Maybe it's just the local dialect of my area (Hudson Valley, New York), but they clearly are not talking about herpes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.181.191 (talk) 17:00, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
The information in thud article about the relation between aphthuos stomatitis and tobacco smoking is confusing and seems somewhat co tradictory, first saying that it is more common in smokers, then explaining why smokers are protected. In fact, this article and the German one both seem to cite https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4024130/ with contradictory interpretations. I think the German article is right in interoreting this as meaning smoking causes less sores. 2A02:8071:D84:A8E0:5826:D901:CBB2:8B5F (talk) 07:32, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
