What Causes Soreness And Redness On Bottom Gums?
Question: First i felt a little soreness in my bottom gum, closer toward my chin. Then i realized it was coming from the inside of my mouth. I noticed a little redness below my right cuspid tooth. Then, I noticed it was actually like a tiny hole. Next morning, hole is bigger and more red. I can not deal with the pain its soo bad. Do you know what this could be?
Five years ago I had a staph infection (mercer) , from a tattoo i had got. The infection was on my lower stomach. The hole below my tooth reminded me of the little hole you start with in mercer. There is no visible pus, however the area around the hole is swollen like a bump. Can these be related?
