Could Smoking/morphine Pain Pump Be Responsible For Blister On Gums?
I get one small bump/blister/pimple thing on my gums in the back of my mouth, it has clear fluid and there is never any blood or puss when i brake it with my finger nail, then it comes back in the same spot about a month or so later, I am a smoker and on a morphine pain pump, could any of these cause this?

Hello,
Smoking as well as morphine pump can cause blisters on gums.
I would advice you to get a thorough clinical evaluation by a dentist.
Apply dologel on the affected area.
If the affected tooth decayed or periodontally infected,get a thorough scaling/root canal treatment done whichever is possible.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Avoid spicy acidic foods.
Take care.
