Question 1

noticed small blue veins on roof of mouth by my uvula.normal?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Small blue veins are commonly seen in mouth. The thin membrane of soft palate can allow the veins to be seen thru the skin. They may become more apparent with age like under the tongue. But it you should have it examined by your dentist to be safe.

Question 2

hi i'm a 22 year old female and have smoked for a year i noticed that i can see veins on the roof of my mouth and i was wondering if its normal.

Accepted Answer

Smoking irritation: Although it is normal to have fine veins on the palate, individuals who smoke typically have inflamed oral membranes from chronic irritation.  This could account for more prominent veins.

Question 3

i have at right top roof of mouth ( palate ) i have skin looks different some yellow kind of and some looks ripped skin and has red little veins its severe scratchy and everytime i breathe in air it irritates constantly , i feel extremely worried?

Accepted Answer

: You apparently don't have a sore throat as well, but your symptoms are consistent with inflammation.. Jaundice &amp; also carortenemia from eating too many carrots can cause yellow discoloration of the roof of the mouth, but I favor irritation or viral infection at this time.  Ifmouth rinses with warm salt water doesn't help, see your MD for evaluation &amp; testing.

Question 4

i have noticed a purplish area on the roof of my mouth. my doctor said it is probably iyar where my veins meet and since the skin is thin i can see them. its right in the middle of my hard palate- no pain, irritation, or raised skin?

Accepted Answer

See an oral surgeon: There are sometimes small vessels in the posterior hard palate that can be visible, but you should have it checked by a specialist.

Question 5

vasculitis flare causing petechiae (legs & roof of mouth). have new very thick purple veins under tongue/floor of mouth. that also part of flare? thnx

Accepted Answer

No it is unlikely: Small vessel vasculitis often cause painful petechia or ecchymosis for skin most common in legs. For mouth is usually ulcer rather than enlarge vein.

Question 6

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 7

for almost two months now my throat has been yellow with red veins and white at the roof of my mouth, there are no spots, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

See MD: In order to answer your questions and give you an accurate diagnosis, you need to see a physician (gp or ent).  It requires a clinical examination and merely giving you a list of possibilities will serve no purpose.

Question 8

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 9

persistent pain in roof of mouth?

Accepted Answer

See a Dentist: There are many,  many things that can cause soreness in the roof of your mouth.   The most common I have observed is inflamation due to dryness.  The second most common thing ive seen is ulcers, burns or cuts on the palate from hot, spicy or sharp food.   Best to have it looked at to narrow down the specific cause.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
