Small trauma keep occurring in side The mouth and when they heal it forms welts. If you have a habit of lio and chek biting then you may have welts more.

Hello,
I am glad to assist you. You are correct to look for triggers to this condition. It may be an allergic reaction. Continue to monitor your diet for any reaction and try to eliminate possible causes.
Other triggers to consider:
-change in dental products used
- hormonal changes
- congestion, snoring, breathing through your mouth to cause dry mouth tissue
-broken teeth, grinding at night and biting cheek or lip
Try to stay well hydrated especially with your exercise program. Maintain good dental daily care, good nutrition with balanced vitamins and electrolytes. Calm tissue with warm salt water rinses and anti-inflammatory medication such as Tylenol or Motrin. The antihistamine Benadryl would
be an excellent choice for reducing allergic reactions.
If this does not resolve, visit your dentist to rule out any dental conditions or infections. If ulcerated areas develope, this could be viral or stress related.
Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you feel better soon and my recommendations are useful.
