That appears to be a cluster of small ulcers. Any friction causing factors like sharp tooth/gutkha/cigarette smoking taken up recently could be a cause. Other causes would include any stress or nutritional deficiencies.
Next Steps
start with warm salt water rinses

eat soft, bland, non spicy food for 1 week
