Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
From your explanation it can either be fungal infection inside mouth or Oral thrush or it can be due to hyoerkeratotic lesion like Oral Leukoplakia.
So first of all you should get it checked.
Consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. A clinical examination and investigation like microscopy of scraping from the lesions can help in ruling out the exact cause and treatment can be done accordingly.
If there is fungal infection then you can be advised Oral antifungal medicines like Fluconzole and antifungal mouthwash like Nystatin mouthwash and suck Clotrimazole lozenges.
If it it s leukoplakia then multivitamins,antioxidants like Lycopene can be advised.
But early investigation and treatment is a must.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
