Severe Pain Due To White Spot Inside The Cheek With A Purple Vein. How To Remove It?

Hi, Ive had braces for 2 years and now since my last appointment which was like about a month ago on the inside of my cheek was getting a white spot and was hurting but it wouldn't go away and now a purple vein is revealing on top of the white spot and it kills twice as bad. It's getting worse everyday. What should I do?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
There can be many reasons for any white spot inside the mouth, white spot can be because of any habit of smoking or consuming areca nut, because of stress leading to lichen planus, fungal infection.
But in these conditions there will be no pain in that spot.
It looks that you must have got some trauma from the wire on the tooth and now blood is clotted in that area.
You should use some topical anesthetic gel to get relieved from pain and also the cause of trauma should be removed, for which you have to visit your dentist.
Hope it will help you.
