Hi, I have a Female betta fish (chinese fighting fish) and she is white now and she had two cuts on her body by her dorsal fin but on both sides in the same area and her mouth is gone now. She wasnt like this last night, can someone please help I Dont want her to die!
 
Are there any other fish in with her? it sounds like a bad fight. it culd be a fast moving case of fin rot and a bacterial infection, but without a picture, its hard to say. Exactely what is in the tank with her?
Catx is correct..read her link.
 
Is Siamese not Chinese.

The lesions and mouth rot sounds like the highly contagious and often fatal columnaris - a very nasty bacterial infection. See here for treatment:

You can try and treat it but it does sound fairly far advanced on your fish.
