<s>[INST] I have a small purple spot on my gum right above my front tooth. Its been there about 2 weeks. Its not raised and its not getting worse as far as I can tell. It doesnt bother me other than Im concerned as to what it could be. What do you think?  Thank you. [/INST] Hello, Read your query, small purple spot on gum above tooth can swell secondary to Abscess or cyst formation due to trauma or infection. Abscess formation can be due to carious tooth, or it can be due to Periodontal infection that is infection in gums. Don't be worried so much I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for visual examination of spot and evaluation. In meantime do warm saline rinses, and you can apply ointment like gum paint on gum to reduce inflammation if present. Hope this will help you. </s>
