How To Treat Skin Tags On Gum?

Hi, I just noticed that i have a skin tag on my gums far above my teeth on top left side. I have never experienced this before. It does not hurt, it is flesh colored, and bleeds only when i brush. I know i should get it checked out immediatly. Does it sound like cancer? This grew fast cuz it wasnt there yesterday.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the mucosal tags could be secondary to trauma or chemical or burn. it can be desquamative gingivitis or desquamation of the mucosa. nothing to worry, it is not cancer. consult your oral physician to get it ruled out from the above said conditions. you can use topical antiinflammatory drugs. do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
