What is "stomatitis (aphthous)"?
As shown in the figure on the right, it is a general term for inflammation in which one to several shallow, small, painful ulcers (less than 10 mm in diameter) form on the inside of the cheeks, the tongue, the inside of the lips, etc. They are round and whitish, with a slightly hollow center and a reddish surrounding area.

Before closing your mouth, lightly moisten the surface of the applied medicine with the tip of your tongue or similar.
The surface that has drawn in moisture becomes an Aqua Sensor Barrier* and firmly covers the affected area.
*Aqua Sensor Barrier (registered trademark) is a proprietary technology in which the ointment draws moisture such as saliva to its surface, making it less likely to stick to the teeth and surrounding areas, and covers the affected area for a long time with excellent adhesion.
