Mouth Patches

Mouth Patches

Some mouth patches are white or gray and appear on the tongue or cheeks from the inside. Chronic irritation of the mucous oral membranes causes them to appear in the mouth. They may also appear in female genital parts or areas, and the causes are still unknown. There is no specific age for oral spots, but they are more common in the elderly. When the surface or texture of the mouth spots is rough or hard, it is an unusual or abnormal form of mouth spots. People living with AIDS are most vulnerable to this type of type of disease. They appear specifically on the cheeks from the inside or on the tongue and rarely appear elsewhere in the mouth.] White mouth patches are similar to those produced by oral fungi. Adults with a malfunction in their immune system are usually infected with oral fungi. This condition may be one of the first indicators of AIDS.
