Painless Reddish Rings In The Inner Cheeks And Roof Of The Mouth. Concerned About The Flare Ups
I have painless red rings along my inner cheeks, mostly on the right side. Not dark red, just as though I've bit my cheek. I haven't. They've been present for about a month, and seem to be almost gone sometimes before flaring up again. There's also a dark red spot towards the back of the roof of my mouth, it that has any signifigance.

Hello,
By history it seems like recurrent Aphthous ulcer of the oral cavity.
This may be due to poor dental and oral hygiene.
There are some vitamin deficiencies which will also cause this.
Lastly stress may also cause it.
Maintain good oral hygiene by regular brushing with proper techniques.
Try to be stress free.
