Question 1

roof of my mouth is yellow when i shine light on it and my nebula looks yellowish with veins,dark veins under my tongue, no pain, i have acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

Get examined: this sounds like oral icterus from liver illness.Since you did not provide a photo, it is impossible to diagnose. Go to see your physician ASAP

Question 2

why do i have really dark/ black veins under my tongue?

Accepted Answer

: Dark, sublingual veins are perfectly normal. They can be quite close to the surface.

Question 3

dark red veins under your tongue indicates what?

Accepted Answer

Sublingual veins : .. Are very large and provide a convenient area to get meds such as nitroglycerine into your system quickly. Many people have visually striking veins here.

Question 4

i have a sharp pain coming from the bottom right side of my tongue down near to my throat  for couple days ( dark purple vein/ vessel under tongue )?

Accepted Answer

See ENT doc: Hard to say from information provided. Best bet is to see ENT doc if symptoms persist beyond another few days, or sooner if symptoms worsen.

Question 5

both sides of my  tongue have really dark  veins.  i've never noticed before. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal...: Veins carry low oxygen blood back to the heart and are darker in color than oxygen-rich blood. Shallow vessels are more obvious in color. A large superficial pair of tongue veins (ranine veins) are quite obvious on exam (see picture). Enlarged varicose veins at base of the tongue have been reported in some cases of liver disease. If these are new, simple exam and liver labs may be in order.

Question 6

can you get flesh eating disease in the mouth? the bottom of my tongue hurts on one side and i see dark veins

Accepted Answer

Relax: Blue veins on underside of tongue are normal.  As to necrotizing fasciitis, in over 50 years of dental training and practice I have not heard of even one case.  Your sublingual pain, however, should be investigated.  Scores of possible answers.  See your Dentist or an Oral Medicine specialist for examination.

Question 7

persistant sore throat for a while now. the roof of my mouth seems yellow with red, raised spots. throat has dark veins and bumps. what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

See your PCP.: It could be a bacterial infection and you need to see your pcp to get a swab of it.

Question 8

why would the veins under my tongue be dark in colour?

Accepted Answer

Common: This is common and most likely normal.  There is a large number of superficial veins just below the under surface of the tongue.  This is the reason that medications can be absorbed into the blood stream by placement medications "under the tongue".  The overlying skin of the base of the tongue is very thin.  Thus, veins may look prominent and dark in color.

Question 9

found dark purple mark back side tongue looks like veins and hurts ?

Accepted Answer

Physical exam: You need to have this area examined in person by your physician.  A painful tongue lesion has many etiologies.  Sometimes a biopsy (small piece) needs to be removed and examined under a microscope for a proper diagnosis.

Question 10

whats the dark purple veins on your tongue ?

Accepted Answer

Vein under tongue: They are just that-veins! sometimes they may become darker if the flow of blood is dimished-like vericose veins in the legs.
