Are canker sores herpes?

CANKER SORES not COLD SORES!
Answer:
No. Canker sores are NOT herpes (cold sores). Cold sores 鈥?also called fever blisters 鈥?are quite different from canker sores, a condition people sometimes associate them with. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, and they're contagious. Canker sores, which aren't contagious, are ulcers that occur in the soft tissues inside your mouth, places where cold sores don't occur.

no, they are generally caused by acid indigestion or teeth rubbing on the inside of your cheek.
Generally, no.However oral herpes can present as sores in the mouth (not just cold sores on the lips and facial area).
