Q: in my mouth right underneath where my nose would be there's a flap of skin that literally flats back and forth bright red has bled out a little not sure what it is is not an abscess normally looks like?

: It is either part of inflamed lining of the upper lip or your gum. It needs to be seen by an oral surgeon for diagnosis.
