Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain recurring mouth ulcers can be due to recurrent apthous stomatitis and if is a commonly seen condition and can be due to a number of causes iron and vitamin B12 deficiency,stress,physical trauma, hormonal imbalances etc.

But as she have a history of performing rimming the ulcers in mouth can be due to certain sexually transmitted infections like Herpes ,clamydia, gonorrhoea..
She should consult an Oral physician and get evaluated and along with a clinical examination a microscopic evaluation of the small specimen from the lesion can help in diagnosis of the cause and treatment can be planned accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
