See Dr.: You may have what are called apthous ulcers and they are annoying as you know. Usually caused by the herpes simplex type 1 virus, which is very common and don't worry, is not sexually transmitted herpes. See a dr. As there are anti-viral meds that may help if that is the cause. Best wishes.
