HiIt could be anything.May be a part of drug therapy or nutritional deficiency.It would better to consult your treating doctors and get advise.Do symptomatic treatment like Vitamin b complex and folic acid.If it is swallowen then apply chlorihexidine gel over it.But if there is difficulty in eating then consult a doctor.It is difficult to give advise without examine it properly.Thank you.
