I have a recurring purple spot on the side of my tongue- I don t notice it and feel like it s gond and then every few weeks I wake up with the exact same purple spot on the exact same spot. When I first wake up, it feels tender and swollen, a little hard, then later in the day not so much. Should I have it looked at? What could cause this?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i am glad you wrote in, the dental history presented by you is not enough to rule out the diagnosis therefore I would like to inform you that if the purple spots grow bigger or if there is pain /swelling associated with it, you should visit an oral pathologist who can clinically check your oral cavity and prescribe you the treatment if required. According to me, these purple spots are nothing to worry about, i advise you to use an antibacterial mouth was(twice/day) for a week at least, if in case these spots reoccur, then kindly visit your dentist(oral pathologist).I hope I answered your query, i wish you good health.
