More info such as history of dietary changes, a current Heath history and region of the country in which you live would increase the accuracy of diagnosis. A differential diagnosis would include (RAU) Recurrent Aphthous Ulcers, Leukoplakia, Lichen Planus or Bechet's synydrome. You should seek help from a credentialed dental health professional in any case.

Those look like ulcers. They feel like bumps because the skin around them is raised but they are actually more like raised craters. These could be the result of the herpes virus or more likely a stress induced condition call Apthous Ulcers. Sometimes apthous ulcers appears as solitiary ucers or sometimes resembling a bunch of grapes like these. They are painful but should pass in 10 to 14 days from the first time you noticed them.
They should be observed by you dentist during that time to be sure. Good Luck.

Knowing your age will definitely help. For the main fact that it hurts a good thing.can it be rubbed off and how long has it been there. I'm thinking that it may be aphthous ulcer. It may last for five to seven days and then heal. Best advice will be for you to visit your dentist

It looks like canker sores in the picture. It can also be primary herpetic gingivostomatitis if you have also fever and malaise. You should seek a professional evaluation. Your dentist can recommend the appropriate treatment for your condition. In any case the lesions are self-limiting and generally run a course of 7-14 days.

They are probably canker sores but if they last more than 10 days and/or you have a fever, you should seek a professional evaluation. Previous recommendations are appropriate. You can also swish and spit with Maalox or other antacid.

These lesions look like recurrent aphthous stomatitis (also called canker sores). These will typically resolve on their own in 7 to 10 days. There are numerous OTC medicaments that you can use to treat. However, if this doesn't resolve in the 7 to 10 days mentioned above, you should see your dentist.
