A member asked:

My skin in my mouth is comeing away what cause that to happen and why ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hot or acidic foods: The most common cause for epithelial desquamination of intraoral tissues is due to response from burn to hot or spicy foods or from acidic foods. If there is no underlying problem, normal tissue will grow back in within the week.
