Recurrent ulcers on the roof of mouth need proper evaluation, especially with past tobacco history.
You can start basic care like topical gel and mouthwash, but since it is recurring at the same site, a detailed examination is important to rule out underlying causes.
I would recommend a proper consultation so that I can assess the exact lesion and guide you with the most appropriate treatment.
