How To Treat Redness/blotches On The Roof Of Mouth ?

I have end-stage liver disease and have had to have verices "banded", 6 at a time, grade 3's in my esophagus and have had to have ascites drained from my abdomen. Now, I've got red spots/blothches on the roof of my mouth ( I do have full dentures, as a treatment regime of Interferon A-Intron 10mil. IU, destroyed my perfect teeth. There are some 8 bright red blotches on the roof of my mouth that bleed super easily, sometimes causing the seal on the dentures to come loose! And they take a long time to stop bleeding. Could this be related to the rest of my bleeding problems? My platelet count is down to 5000. And is there anything that can be done to stop this bleeding problem, as I'm afraid to go into public and "bleed", and it also hurts a lot?

Hi
Thank you for consulting HCM.
As you have end-stage liver that's why your platelets are too low and you are having bleeding problems. As a physician my advice is that you must have platelets transfusion. It will provide a temporary relief due to short lifespan of platelets. Consult a gastroenterologist for further workup and management plan.
Have a good day.
