Based on the image you uploaded and the history , it's likely to be aphthous stomatitis. Doxycycline, b complex vitamins and folic acid supplements help heal such lesions in time. However with a prolonged history, and failure to resolve, an oral brush biopsy biopsy should be considered in consult with an oral physician to rule out the posibility of malignancy.
