What Causes Red Spots Inside Mouth?

default
Posted on Wed, 15 Jul 2015
Question: Hi, I have those red spots in the back of my mouth and I was wondering what it was.
When I go with my tongue it feels bumpy.
Is this an allergic reaction, cancer or what is this?
It hurts a little bit when I swallon but a very little bit.
This morning my tongue was white in the back but I could remove it, it was a bit pasty white, now my tongue feel sensible (is this normal?). I had an gastro enteretis those last 3 days (I went to the doctor).
I have had this for 2 days now it didnt get worse or better.
I am allergic to dustmite when I wake up my eyes are red because I slept near the carpet. Could this be linked to dust mite allergy? I am afraid this is cancer

Brief Answer:
tongue absolutely normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to healthcaremagic,

I have seen the pics you posted.
Your tongue is completely normal. The red spots that you are seeing are nothing but papillae, also called taste buds. They are present in all people.

Just clean your tongue regularly with a tongue cleaner and forget about the bumps on your tongue.

What about my palate and the back of my mouth?

Other question:
Is HIV transmissible if I got masturbated by a girl who cleaned her hands with alchohol before and used massage oil during the action (she touched my acorn also during the process of masturbation)?

Brief Answer:
palate is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have seen your palate in the pictures and it is absolutely normal. The palate is not smooth, it has bumps and pits and elevations. It is normal. There are taste buds on the palate too. Do not worry sir, your palate is good as it can be.

If the girl had no fresh injuries or on her hand then there is no chance of transmitting HIV.

Thank you, but since she cleans her hands with alchohol there is 0 percent chance?
