There can be many reasons for it. It needs to be examined clinically as well. Mere picture will not help diagnose the exact lesion. Kindly visit an MDS oral and maxillofacial surgeon or MDS oral medicine for the same.

A proper diagnosis would require a proper history of usage of antibiotics or other medications in the recent past along with knowledge of consumption habits the patient may have. I suggest you visit a dentist for a thorough diagnosis and treatment.
