My baby Bagheera has this sore under her whiskers. She has had it for 2-3Days now and it showed up out of no where. I pushed on it to see if it was a puss pocket... but nothing came out. It's a whitish color...and to me looks like mange. inside her mouth where the sore is looks good...but it's hurting her to the touch. I have not taken her to the vet yet as it's a holiday weekend. Any help much appreciated.

Looks like it might be a rodent ulcer or it could be a bite.  Keep an eye on it and get her to the vet first thing Monday morning.  You can try putting a warm compress on it to see if that helps.  If you're using plastic feeding bowls and water dishes, switch to ceramic or stainless steel.  It could even be acne.

Ringworm? Hard to tell from the picture... dab a week solution of hydrogen peroxide on it and see it if reacts. I have treated ringworm many time with it on cats and dogs. But again hard to tell in the picture. Good luck...very cut kitty <3

Did you get her to the Vet?.  The way it's so circular, it definitely could be ringworm.  If you haven't been to the Vet yet, if you use a blacklight to look at it, sometimes ringworm will glow ('course, not always
)
