Hi
Welcome to Healthcare magic and thanks for putting up the query
I have seen the picture. It is probably not a fungal infection but a mucosal change or a growth.
Please tell me do you have any history of tobacco use or smoking?
Any history of trauma or injury like by a brush etc?
Follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better.
Take care
Thanks and regards

Hi
Thanks for the information.
My advice is you should get a biopsy done from the lesion.
Take tablet vitamin c once daily and apply kenacort gel 4 to 5 times a day.
All the medicines I have prescribed will be available at prescription only.
