Mentholated Cream
Menthol is an organic compound made from the extracts of mint oil. It can also be synthetically produced. Menthol has a cooling effect when applied to the skin or other tissues, such as the tongue, gums, or inside the cheeks. This makes it helpful in treating canker sores, which are small ulcers that form on the mucous membranes of the mouth.
This type of cream contains an active ingredient that helps to numb the area, providing relief from pain. In addition, mentholated creams typically contain anti-inflammatory agents that can help to reduce swelling.
