Some people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) report experiencing mouth and/or nose sores. These sores aren't caused directly by RA but can be a side effect of medications used to treat the condition. For example:

- DMARDs: These can suppress the immune system, leading to sores in the nose and mouth.
- NSAIDs: Celebrex, a prescription NSAID, can cause ulcers or white spots in the mouth or on the lips.
- Steroids: Prednisone can potentially cause dry mouth, which might contribute to sores.

Always consult your doctor if you experience these symptoms.

Methotrexate can cause mouth sores. Are you taking that medication by any chance? Prescription folic acid is *supposed* to help offset those side effects. Good luck. 🙂
