Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
There are many conditions which makes the mucosa appear rough. The most common conditions are, fordyce spots(normal variant), frictional keratosis, lichen planus(plaque type), leukoplakia etc. So consult a oral physician and get it evaluated once. Based on your description it is difficult to give a exact diagnosis, so a thorough clinical examination is required to give a final diagnosis and treatment plan.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
