Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Cannot say in your particular case, but generally,dermatologic conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them. Could be infection, could be malnutrition, could be just nerves and irritating an area by rubbing it unconsciously. dry mouth can be part of it. bad diseased teeth can contribute. Yeast infection can be part of it and is fixable in a couple days with the right medication. And these look different and are able to be diagnosed just by looking.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
