White patches can be: Leukoplakia, or candida, or absolutely nothing...Need to have a professional look. I could say open your mouth and say ahhh, but i can't see your doctor can. Unlikely to be cancer at your age.

Has to be seen and..: White patches in your mouth could be any number of things. See an oral surgeon for a definitive diagnosis. Unless the oral surgeon knows what it is and that it is not a neoplasm (growth), it should be biopsied. Most oral pathologists will tell you that even certain lesions that look benign can be precancerous and should be removed or at least biopsied.
