Are Fibromas Related With White Patches Inside The Mouth?

Hello, I have a white patch just inside my mouth. I went to see a doctor and he thinks it is probably a fibroma that is probably benign. But I just read where the fibromas in the mouth are usually pink in color and they are usually firm. Mine is white in color and is not soft and really firm. I also just read that HIV and AIDS are possible diagnoses and that concerned me. I am making an appointment tomorrow to see a dentist, but I am just trying to do some research in the meantime.

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that fibroma in mouth are pink in color. The most common cause of white patch oral mucosa is Candida infection. You can go for simple Gram's Staining from the lesion if it shoes Gram positive yeast cells it is candida otherwise you have to rule out other condition.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
