If I were you, I go see a doctor now. It is not a good thing to have red spots in the mouth area. Better be safe than be sorry later.

Oh my gosh, you mean there are others? Are you a pretty pale person like me? I get it a lot. I can get it from really hot (heat hot, not spicy hot) foods too - like soup.  I get it from wine sometimes too. Everyone asks me why my nose turns red.  The dermatologist just said it was blood vessels and due to my skin being so light, it looks a lot more prominent. I find that if I keep very well hydrated, it is a little less extreme.  So glad to know someone else has that problem too!

Registered Nurse here; Could be a number of things, however the first thing that comes to my mind, is your diet.  If you have a tendency to eat a diet high in acid, like tomatos, tomatoe soup, pizza, Italian foods, Mexican foods, etc.  Your likely to get mouth ulcers at intervals.  Doesn't sound like an allergic reaction, sounds more like an irration.  One can take 30cc of Maalox, with Benedryl exlier, read on container and see the correct dosage of Benedryle mix the Benedryl and Maalox together, swiss in mouth for about 30 seconds and swallow, this will coat the lesions in the mouth and offer you relieve.  Strongly advise you to make an appointment and see your health care professional ASAP! If something is amidst your catching it early.  Thanks for the opportunity  to address your question.

Actaully, on some of my recent tests, I have the same exact thing you are describing and it is due to having chronic bronchitis.\nYou are not exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently with this disease and as a response the body makes extra red blood cells to get more oxygen to your tissues. If it is slightly elevated above normal it is nothing to worry about.\n\nDo you have any sort of lung disease? This could cause it if I am understanding your question.

As a medical student this is what I can think it may be:\n\n1) Have ur lymph nodes checked out.  There may be fluid in them.\n\n2) Check ur tonsils, maybe tonsilitis.... Do research on the palatine tonsils..(the 2 humps on the side of your mouth near the uvula)\n\n3) Get a baterial culture, like a strep test.  For all you know all you need is some good old penicillin.\n\n4) Do you have a fever?  IF so definitely get a strep test, and get blood work done to check for mono.\n\n5) Try and do salt + water gargles.  Salt is a good anticeptic.  Also mouthwash regualarly, it'll help to kill some bacteria.\n\nHope you feel better.... Again I'm only a medical student and not a doctor.  Sry, if my spelling is horrible... was never good at it.

Just red, with no other symptoms? That is bizarre (MD here). Gotta suspect something vascular as the primary cause, but can't tell much given that we know nothing of your broader history (immediate and past).\n\nGood luck. If any redness begins to spread upward towards the armpit, especially if there are streaks of red going up your arm, and particularly if you develop a fever, then get your behind to your doc or your local ER, OK?

It's one a few things: Strep is the main and most common cause. See your doctor about that. If you've accidentally had something jab into that part of your mouth, it could be a slight bruise, which nothing is bad about that. No harm. Or it could be from buelemia (eating disorder, sp?). I had the redness, and asked my doctor.

Rheumatic fever (RF) is an illness characterized by the presence of one or more of the following findings: arthritis, carditis (cardiac inflammation), rash, chorea (abnormal movements), and subcutaneous nodules. The clinical manifestations are a direct consequence of a throat infection caused by the group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus bacteria, which causes Strep throat.\nSubcutaneous nodules are small (less than 1 cm) bumps, found mostly over bony areas, usually seen in recurrent attacks, and have an incidence of about 3-10%. Patients who have nodules usually also have severe heart disease. Nodules usually disappear in 1-2 weeks.

There are many things that could cause this.\n\nYou shouldn't be asking here. See your doctor!

thrush medication is an anti-fungal. like nystatin,mycelex troche,diflucan. thrush is a fungal infection that can cause white spots in the mouth and throat. most commonly caused by a weak immune system, or taking antibiotics for a long period of time,or using orally steroid inhalers.

It is called a uvula. I think laryngitis can cause it to inflame, so can tonsilitis. You may need to take antibiotics to cure that

EWWWWWW! It just looks like u ate a green something!  Get a tongue scraper from your drugstore! I promise all that buildup can be scraped away.   If no improvement see a Ears/Nose/Throat doctor stat!

Well of course it is difficult for us to give you a medical opinion over the Internet, so you should always consult your physician for these kind of questions.\n\nI wonder if you have Reynaud's disorder, which is a circulatory problem that causes areas that are distal to the heart (hands, feet, tip of nose) to have lowered circulation and feel cold and turn purple/red. It happens especially when you are cold or the weather is cold.\n\nRead more about it in the links below.

You could have Strep throat, Mononucleosis, or several other things going on.  You need to see a doctor in case you need antibiotics!

Sounds like you had something purple on your hand when you had sex with your hand.  Only a purple petered Troll would ask this question and not be going to the doctor.

Could possibly be your thyroid.  I would get a doc to check it out asap!
