Can Black Indoor Mold Cause Canker Sores?
Can Canker sores be caused my mold? Recently, a family member came over to my house and pointed out that I had mold (black or dark mold) in the crevices of all my windows in my apartment. Before i had been made aware of this, my son had been experiences over the year that were not normal. First, he fainted. Later we found out he had asthma. He has acne. And finally, he had been getting canker sores in his mouth. Had all of this been caused by the warm, moist black mold infested place he called home?

Hello,
It is not related to mold. You can take multivitamin for symptomatic relief. Include more fruits and vegetables to your diet. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
