What Would Cause White Patches Over Back Of Tongue & Also Small Red Bumps Over The Top?

I have small red bumps in the middle of my tongue with white patches over back of tongue, dentist prescribed bacterial wash and it didn't work, went back to doctor who prescribe fungus mouthwash, tongue white stuff goes away after wash then comes back several hours, but red bumps remain, I recently tested positive for herpes 1 and 2 but have no big sores. My lips also have white bumps of fluid deep in the skin that I can't clean out as their under the skin, I'm very frustrated.
