Bruising: Could be from vigorous brushing with a too hard toothbrush, piercings or other things you are doing with your mouth. Use a soft toothbrush and treat your mouth with care. Otherwise you should see a local dentist for answers.

Biopsy results: The best person to answer this question for you is the dentist who took the biopsy. He\she knows your complete medical and dental history and has personally examined you as well. We can only give you a list of possibilities while your own dentist can either determine the exact cause or give you a pretty good educated guess. Discuss this issue with your dentist.
