Ouch. I had one of these that finally went away for good about two weeks ago. This is your mouth's equivalent of a scab- since it's moist in your mouth, no solid structure can form, and the wound remains open as it heals. The white is due to the clotting proteins.

Since it's an open wound, you treat it the same way you treat any wound: Keep it clean, avoid reinjuring it, and wait. You can speed recovery and decrease pain by killing the bacteria that inevitably takes hold in the wound.

So, it will help if you use a mouthwash, or a peroxide product specifically designed for oral use. Treating the wound directly with a mild base (like baking soda) will also help the pain and help clean the wound.

Other than that, there's not much you can do but wait. Mine would heal after about 10 days, only to blister again and rupture, starting the process all over again. But eventually, it will go away.
