What Causes Clusters Of Deep Purple Bumps On The Oral Mucosa?

Saw my dentist today for small clusters deep purple in color on the mandibular mucosa. In checking it out it would appear to be varix except that I have dryness and some burning on the tongue. I am believing this is all aging. My DMD doesn't know what it is. I graduated dental school also and I don't know

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well clusters of deep purple on the mandibular mucosa can be due to number of causes like varicose veins, Petechiae etc depending on the appearance..
However burning and dryness of tongue can be a different issue that can be related to dry mouth that can cause inflammation and burning inside mouth or can be due to burning mouth syndrome..
So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Pathologist and get evaluated..
For dry burning tongue start gargling with numbing mouth wash containing Lignocaine..
Chew sugar free chewing gum..
Drink plenty of water..
Suck ice lollies..
Gargle with specialised mouthwash like Magic mouthwash..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
