What Causes Ecchymosis?
Question: I just noticed a dark sore in the back of my mouth and I swabbed it with a q tip and it was bleeding a little after I just ate and I don't know what it is
Brief Answer:
ecchymosis, trauma, selflimiting
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the black soreness in the mouth is concerned, it can be a ecchymosis secondary to trauma like biting with teeth.
Nothing to be panic, It will subside in 5days. These are the possible diagnosis based on your description of the lesion. If you can upload the images I can give you exact diagnosis.
I hope I have answered your query. If any queries are there reply me back. Take care.
