Hie.
It seems ulcer only.. this could be either due to cheek biting while eating or could be because of Gastro problem..
as u have left the smoking 4 years back ..it won’t have any relation with this ulcer for now.. and I would suggest dont google things ,which creates unnecessary panic..
just get yourself observed for these frequent ulcers if it occurs ..
Next Steps
Warm saline rinses
