Brief Answer:
Diabetes, HIV and syphilis should be ruled out.

Detailed Answer:
According to attached picture, you seem to have some bacterial infection of the skin. White discharge and bump formation are typical for such infection.
As you have also other symptoms like difficulty swallowing and eye discharge (also due to bacterial infection), it seems that your immune system does not work as it suppose to.
Most common reason of immune system issues is diabetes. Increased glucose level allows bacteria to grow.
Other possible reasons are HIV infection and syphilis.
I suggest you to have this possibilities ruled out.

Regards.
