What is the difference between oral ulcers and oral herpes?

Oral ulcers may be caused by genetic factors, immune factors, vitamin or trace element deficiency, or stress. Oral herpes is caused by herpes virus, of course, oral ulcers may also be caused by herpes virus infection. Therefore, if there is oral herpes, then herpes will also form oral ulcers after rupture, but the oral ulcers formed by him are different from what we traditionally call oral ulcers, and recurrent aphthous oral ulcers are also different, so there is still a difference between the two.

In oral herpes, herpes ulceration, after the formation of ulcers can also be treated with ulcer patches, or mouthwash.
