Dr. Deborah Josefson answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Depends: White spots can be leukoplakia, fungal infection, pus or a response to an irritant. Do the spots come off? Where are they on the mouth? Do you smoke or chew tobacco? You can see a dentist or a primary care doc for starters. It may need a biopsy.

Dr Rosenblatt and another doctor agreed
