Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
The type of canker sore you are mentioning that they appear on hands and feet also.It looks that she is having some kind of autoimmune disease, can be any disease like lichen planus, pemphigus or pemphigoid but for the diagnosis you have to visit a good dentist of skin specialist.
Hope it will help you.
