thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the features what you are giving suggests it is an inflammed parotid gland duct opening, it can be because of the bacterial infection or secondary to a stone. or the white patch could be a frictional keratosis or leukoplakia but there wont be any secretions from the patches. so it could be from the duct. consult your physician and take some radiographs like puffed cheek PA to rule out any stones. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
