Hello!Thank you for posting in HCM.

This can be due to a allergy from a new tooth paste,mouthwash or other foods.
Discontinue use if it is the reason.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.Get a professional scaling done.Do not overuse mouthwash.Use warm saline gargle twice daily.Biopsy can be a last option as you only have redness.
Get a clinical examination done for any infection like candidiasis.Tis will reduce once the topical nystatin is applied for a week.
Control blood sugar levels.

Hope this helps.
