Question 4

my 5 month old son woke up with a red circle welped on each side of the corners of his mouth located on the cheeks. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Possible irritation: Sometimes drool, food remnants, irritation from pacifiers/fingers/toys, or even wipes, creams or lotions near the mouth can irritate the sensitive delicate skin around the mouth of a child.  Try your best (i know its hard) to keep that area dry; try a dap of aquaphor around the mouth to prevent irritation.

Question 5

is it normal for my son who is just over 6 months old to have drool little bumps in and around his mouth? sometimes the sides of his mouth are red

Accepted Answer

Drooling: It is common to get a drooling rash but if area is kept dry (well as dry as possible at that age) and does not get better or if it worsens or has any kind of yellow crust or discharge to it, I would advise having him seen by his pediatrician

Question 6

my son came to me with a hard lump on top of his head. hard. size of small bouncy ball cut in half. no recent trauma he recalls.no pain. no redness or bruising. neuro appears  wnl.

Accepted Answer

Cyst?: A dermatologist to see this lesion because it is so atypical to have a lesion of some size suddenly on the head of young person without preceding trauma or other occurrences. Was there a bite? Was there minor trauma which could be a organizing hematoma? See your dermatologist a soon as possible!

Question 7

Don't know: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available.

Question 8

i noticed a small hard red bump on the roof of my mouth abt two yrs ago. now i suddenly have another one. what could this be and should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Torus: Hard lumps in the roof of the hard part of the palate are usually a congenital and normal variant called torus palatinus(bull's palate) and requires no treatment. An otolaryngologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you if you have further concerns or if the lumps are in the soft part of the palate.

Question 9

two white patches on either side of back of mouth. same area is red, had since november. no pain or bleeding just had a tooth extraction. what could b

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: Can't tell without seeing the patches.  Sounds like you need a complete examination, not just emergency tooth-pilling care.  White patches should always be investigated. N make a dental appointment for a cleaning and full examination/x-rays, then discuss the findings with the dentist and follow his/her advice.

Question 10

what is a bony small bulge in the gum near the second molar(bottom teeth) only on one side.. not painful. very hard(like bone). no redness?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: a mandibular torus or benign bony expansion of the surface of the bone. These are frequently inherited. Usually no treatment is needed but they can be removed if they are becoming ulcerated due to surface trauma.
