Blue discoloration is commonly associated with vascular growth. Without a visual examination and proper testing I cannot be completely certain, but it may be a sign of a skin cancer called Kaposi’s Sarcoma. I would recommend you see another dentist or Ear Nose and Throat specialist. An Oncologist may also need to be consulted as well.

Get a second opinion. It may just be trauma to area and a hematoma which does resolve slowly. If it is persistent or becomes larger seek the second opinion soon from an oral surgeon.

Blue discoloration is a red flag. Please see a specialist Oral Surgeon or specialist in Oral Pathology to begin the diagnostic process.
