Suggest Home Remedies For Red Round Spot On Gums

I have a medium size red round spot on my gums. I already got it checked for cancer about 3 years ago, they said it was an ulcer caused by stress. They have given me some sort of paste for it but I never got a chance to finish the paste, it was going away, but I moved and some how lost it. Just trying to find out the name of the paste and what home remedies can I use?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern.

Red round spots on your gums as per query are Recurrent Apthous Ulcers which mainly occurs due to stress and due to decreased immune system of body.

I would suggest you to opt the following home remedies to get relief - Use eucalyptus essential oil as that has antimicrobial, astringent properties. Have a spoon of dried flowers wrapped in cheesy cloth as that will fasten healing. Use coconut oil, honey , and clove oil dipped on cotton and apply for 10-15 minutes.

Warm saline gargles on daily basis to clean oral cavity. Eat yogurt in diet. Avoid acidic food in diet as that will cause delayed healing. Use aloe vera gel on these sores and it act as antiseptic agent. Do flossing one time a day and use antimicrobial mouth wash. Use multivitamins rich in vitamin B12.

Apply Dologel cream on your oral mucosa at least three times a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
