These white patches indicate Leukoplakia.
Next Steps
You need to completely stop consuming pan masala/tobacco. Get oral prophylaxis/scaling done by visiting a dentist. Start with antioxidants like Lycopene 5000mcg once daily for at least a month. Start with multivitamins. Take a diet with a good source of natural antioxidants. Get a biopsy of the lesion done.
