Hi I have a what appears to be a swollen blood vessel in my mouth, on the bottom left quadrant, worst right above and lateral to a wisdom tooth and then radiating towards the front of my mouth. It is white, with the area around it slightly red. It is painful, but only to the touch, not really noticeable on its own. I am a 23 year old male, currently on antibiotics (2nd day of a 5 day regimen of azithromycin ) for an (I assume) unrelated infection. I was sick Tues-Thursday, but now feel quite better, and believe that this is something else entirely. I do smoke cigarettes, but do not think that this is relative.
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI went through your history & would like to tell you that your problem seems to be due to your wisdom tooth. I would like to ask you:--has your wisdom tooth fully erupted?-do you experience difficulty in opening mouth??-do you have habit of smoking??-do you have difficulty in protruding tongue??-is there blanching of oral mucosa?? If it's related to wisdom teeth then you get it removed because it's not of much use. If you have smoking & other habits then it can be malignant lesion. White line is line Alba & is normal variant occur due to cheek biting. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
