A member asked:

I have two round red spots on the high roof of mouth what could it be.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oral petechiae: this could be "petechiae" which are microscopic areas of bleeding. Petechiae are usually caused by trauma, infection, bleeding abnormalities, and often get better on their own within a few weeks without treatment. If it doesn't resolve on its own then you may want to see a doctor.
