Posted on Mon, 17 Feb 2020
Question: Hello, I have some very small dots in the roof of my mouth. They are hard to see just looking in the mirror but when I take a photo with a flash they become visible. I am just curious as to what they are and if I should be worried. No other symptoms to speak of and I am generally fit and healthy Thank you.
