A member asked:
I have a tiny bit of red/blood in the seeable part of my throat in a mirror. is this normal or something to worry about at 22 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not uncommon. The throat is the point of access for foodstuffs that may scratch the throat lining. Small localized injuries usually self heal quickly. Sharp edges from potato chips or other foods are a common cause. I would not worry about it.
