Canker sores, or aphthous ulcers, are small sores on the inside of the mouth. They can occur in both men and women of any age, but they're more common in women and in people between the ages of 10 and 40. Around 20 percent of the population get these types of sores, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Canker sores are usually very painful, but are benign and are not contagious.
