What Causes Reddish Gums And Red Spots Inside Lips?
The last couple of days my mouth has felt kind of cottonie. My gums are getting pretty red and the inside of my lips are red. almost looks like red spots on the inside of lips. But it isnt sore. Didn't know if I would have to go to dentist or dr to see if infection or if there was something I could do myself

Hello!Thank you for posting in HCM.
This can be a sign of vitamin deficiency.
Do not panic as this will reduce once the deficiency is corrected.Go for a high vitamin c diet like lemon. and citrus.
Folic acid, riboflavin, cynacobalamine are also potentially necessary.I suggest you to take a supplement which covers these necessary supplements. Go for a healthy life style.Do not smoke.This will take 10-15 days to get to normal.See your dentist if this persists.Maintain a good oral hygiene routine.
Regards.
