Predisposing factors include: anemia (due to iron, folic acid, or Vit B12 deficiency), absorption disorders in the gut (like gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, Crohn's disease ...), and certain drugs (anti-inflammatory drugs manily).
A special group includes: Major aphthous ulcerations where you get much larger sores than usual that are almost always present in the mouth;
Herpetiform ulcerations: you get numerous very small aphthous ulcerations that clinically resemble a herpes infection; Behcet's disease, a rare condition in which patients not develop mouth sores that are identical to recurrent aphthous ulcerations, in addition eye problems and similar sores in the genital area.
A few blood tests may help to rule out any underlying conditions like anemia or Behcet's disease, which, once treated, the ulcers should improve. If these these conditions don't exist, then the mainstay of treatment is topical steroids, in addition to mouth wash (chlorhexidine).
