Mouth ulcers: Having repeat lesions in mouth over the years is not abnormal for some. However, having the numbers of sores is not typical for common lesions like canker sores. Possible link to lichen planis might be answer, especially if associated with other skin or genital lesions. These can be treated but not cured. Baylor university dental site may provide information. Talk to dentist or dermatologist.

Couple possibilites: Chronic ulcers in the mouth can be due to a few different reasons, it would depend on size, location, duration, and environmental factors. Regardless of the cause, whether auto-immune, viral, or traumatic, there are medications that can be prescribed to help alleviate the pain and lessen the severity of the episode or flare up. I would see a dentist for a diagnosis, to see if anything can be done.

Canker sores: Probably cancer sores also known as apthous ulcers. Laser therapy is very effective.
