I have a light pink patch in my mouth. What could it be?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and the attached image (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Nothing to worry about. It is a small ulcer that might have created due to trauma from toothbrush or the soft tissue might get placed while chewing food in between edges of your third molar, that have created that small ulcerated patch. It is next to normal and nothing to worry about.

Next time you visit your dentist for a routine checkup ask him/her to grind if any sharp edges felt on the third molar area. It is very minor and do not need any attention.

Use Rexidine M Forte Gel (Chlorhexidine + Metronidazole+ Lignocaine). Keep the gel at home but a small ulcer like it do not even need any medication.

I hope this helps.
