hi
welcome to HCM
this white tiny spot can be either leukoplakia or candidiasis.
if it get scrapped off then its candidiasis for which you have to start with antifungal drug.
but if non scrapable then visit your dentist, get your cytology done to rule premalignant lesion.
for these case we usually start with antioxidant once a day.
hope it will help you
thank you
