Could Dark Spots On Upper/lower Gums Be Related To Mono?
My 35 y.o. daughter was diagnosed w/ Mono but also tells me she has dark spots on her upper and lower gums. Is this related? Her doctor did not mention any other abnormalities in her lab work. Her doctor could not explain the dark spots and recommended a visit to her dentist who further referred her to an oral surgeon.
Please advise.
Thank you, Kathy

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that she has diagnosed with mono also ,you have dark spot on gums it can be related to mononucleosis or it can be due to reatorative filling if you have or due to peperiodontal problem also ,
You should go to dentist and go for Oral examination and if necessary go for Biopsy
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health,
