👉 Apnic pimples, also known as aphthous ulcers or canker sores, are small, painful, and recurrent ulcers that typically appear on the soft tissues of the mouth, such as the cheeks, tongue, and inner lips. They are often linked to stress, nutritional deficiencies (particularly in iron, folate, and vitamin B12), and certain medications like antibiotics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These sores can be highly irritating and painful, leading to difficulties in eating, speaking, and maintaining oral hygiene. While the exact cause remains unclear, the formation of apnic pimples is thought to involve a combination of immune system dysfunction and epithelial cell damage, resulting in these painful lesions.
