Recovering from elongated uvula...noticed the tip is has turned white as it shrinks. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The pink color=from: red blood cells in capillaries. If white, then less blood flow & this would be consistent with the tissue shrinking as blood flow is required to maintain tissues and routinely increases as part of our immune or healing response to resolve infections, irritation or injury.
