Hi, you seem to be suffering from fungal infection or Candidiasis.Please avoid spicy foods totally. Medicines like Nystatin, Miconazole or Amphotericin B will be able to provide relief. Please use Vitamin C supplements. Please consult an oral surgeon. Use betadine gargles and avoid brushing hard. Take plenty of liquids because chewing removes the top most layer of the gums resulting in bleeding. Take care!

Hi, the difference between Candidiasis and Leukoplakia is that the white patches in Leukpolakia do not peel off on rubbing. So you do not seem to be havig Leukoplakia. Candidiasis recurs in case of immune deficiency. Take lots of Vitamin C supplements and other multivitamin supplements. Please consult a physician. Take care!
