Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have two dark red circular spots under the tongue, on the duct area that has not gone away since months.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Naveen Thomas

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It seems to be a small blood clot which may have occurred at the soft tissue at the salivary duct area. The reason may be due to suction pressure which might have created a negative pressure inside the mouth causing such minor blood clots. It is not a severe condition to get worried. As it is a soft tissue area, it takes too much time to go away. It will resolve on its own, and no action is needed, and definitely, nothing to be worried. Send a clear picture if possible.

Thank you.
