I've had recurring mouth sores for 2 + yrs with the only diagnosis being an unidentified bacteria.

Roger

I have been to several doctors. The only thing I've been told is it is a bacteria. None of the medicines has kept it from coming back. A salve called Triamcinolone Acetonide Dental Paste USP 0.1% seems to slow them down but not cure them. They're very painful and usually lasts for several days at a time. There may be one or more at a time. Does anyone have any answers. What kind of a doctor should I check with?

Have you been to a dematologist during one of these outbreaks?  They might can do a scraping of the sores to look at under a microscope. Could it be an allergy? My mother has a nickel allergy and her's presented with tiny sores all around her lips.
