Hello
I have gone through your query.
Broken blood vessel ll show some amount of redness or blueish colored area.
It can be due to various reasons like trauma from eating very hot and spicy food. Smoking or chewing tobbaco intake.
Do you have any discomfort in that area?
You can wait and watch for 7-10 days if there is any change like size or increase in no. Then i would advice you to visit an oral surgeon.
Meanwhile you can use an antiseptic mouthwash.
Hope this answer helps
