White lumps on upper gums inside lips
Posted , 3 users are following.
Above the tooth line near my canine teeth i noticed today some raised areas while licking my tongue around my mouth.
Upon looking in a mirror i saw there were a few heavy white coated lumps/blisters there, when i wiped hard the White came off and left a redness with some blood spots.
This area isnt sore and is not causing any discomfort. Could this be herpes or a candida/thrush infection.
I have tried taking a photo but its in a difficult place.
Should i see my GP or dentist.
Thanks

Im so paranoid its something bad, would it be painful if it was herpes, also do i need to steer myself away from the herpes thought as im causing so much stress.
So it may be Yeast/thrush infection?
Really appreciate your swift reply.

I would advise you to keep your fingers out of your mouth and gargle some Listerine, or a 50/50 mix of hydrogen peroxide mixed with water. Then see your doctor.

Is there anything you think it could be?

My guess would be just that; a guess. It could be a dental cyst. The photo in the link is of a dental cyst.
