The red spots inside the cheeks that are recurrent can be due to an allergic reaction or nutritional deficiencies. Other likely causes can be-
1. Oral thrush- fungal infection of mouth. Usually covers the whole palate and tongue and is recurrent.
2. Viral infection- usually caused by coxsackie virus. The area is painful and recurrence is common.
A careful examination is an integral part of diagnosis.
Till the time you meet your dentist avoid smoking, use iodine mouth wash and listerine mouth wash to keep the area clean.
Avoid hot and spicy foods.
