Hi, I am female 55 years old, morbid obese, 300 lbs. I have upper denture and a skintag that has appeared in the last 2 months. I had a tag removed from my inner thigh a year ago and it was not cancer. The tag in my upper gum in mouth is nrmal skin color and gets sore with the denture rubbing it. Do I need a special dental surgeon to remove it?
Hello! Thank you for posting here. This can be Ellis fissuratum you are suffering from. However, a clinical examination is necessary for definitive diagnosis. Your dentist will remove the tissue in a minor surgical procedure. Your denture must be redone after the surgical site heals. You did not mention how long you are using this denture. This must be replaced every 6 years for better comfort and hygiene concern. You must see your dentist when you find denture hurting or irritating your tissues. He can round it for your comfort. Use qua Chat Doctor. You can see an oral surgeon to do this for you. Hope this helps.
