Brief Answer:
Oral candidiasis
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached image. You need to have oral candidiasis. Such a thing can occur due to low immunity. Applying Candid mouth gel (clotrimazole) should help. If that does not suffice, you would need to visit a doctor.
Let me know if I could help further.
