What Could Sore Areas In Mouth Feeling Like Blisters Be?
I have had these sore areas in my mouth where my top gums meet where the start of my cheek. Oddly enough they are symmetrical in regards to my face, they are directly across from one enough and are about a half inch long. I have brushed them assuming it was a gum thing, usually that helps but it did nothing for these. When I feel them with my finger, it almost feels like a blister. I keep reading about canker sores but these are not just little dots. I am curious as to what these sores might be and what I might be able to do to cure them.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that they are sore blisters present on your gums, it looks like that this is the canker sore only means called as aphthous ulcers.
They appear because of many reasons as stress, stomach problem, some iron deficiency. But there is no need to worry as it will heal within 1 week, just apply mucopain ointment on that 3 times a day.
Observe the lesion and if it takes time more than 10 days then you should visit your dentist to get it examined.
Hope it will help you
Take care
