What Causes Soft Bumps At The Roof Of The Mouth?

yesterday when I woke up I noticed very , soft little bumps very close together and a lot of them, on the roof of my mouth, today they have spread to the inside of my cheek and lower lip. do you know what this could be? when I rub them with my tongue, it almost feels like powder. pretty weird.. I'll going to the doc this week but just ant to know if it's serious. Thanks

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bumps at the roof of the mouth could be because of the herpes zoster infection caused by herpes virus. IT produces multiple vesicles over the palate buccal mucosa and lip. Consult a oral physician and get your self to rule out the herpes infection. If it is herpes infection then start immediately with antiviral drugs. you can use topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel to reduce the pain. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
