What Causes Grey Colored Mucous Membrane Inside Cheeks?

I have been experiencing gray colored mucous membrane inside my cheeks for several months. The mucous seems to shed every 10-15 days and the interior pores feel somewhat enlarged and bumpy. Now the right ear canal is bleeding, but is not painful. I am 56 yr old white female, non drinker, non smoker. I have gastric bypass and knee replacement in past 3 yrs. Currently being treated for depression and high blood pressure.

Hello

Thanks for consulting hcm

Read your query as you have grey colored mucous membrane inside cheeks this can be due to stress induced lichen planus or due to trauma in salivary glands . Dont be worried so much for this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination of oral cavity and get it evaluated . Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day and you can apply ointment like triaminicilone acetonide buccal paste on cheeks .

Hope this will help you .
