A mouth ulcer typically appears as a painful, shallow sore with a whitish or grayish center and a red halo, often associated with conditions like stress or disease. In contrast, an abscess is usually a swollen, pus-filled pocket that may feel firm, is often more localized, and can be accompanied by more severe pain, swelling, and sometimes fever. While ulcers usually heal on their own, abscesses may require medical intervention such as drainage or antibiotics. If there's uncertainty, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
