What Could Be The Reason For Feeling The Presence Of Dangling Skin At The Top Of My Gums?
At the top right side of my gums I feel my skin dangling and it hurts. Feels like I just got shots in my mouth after a dentist appointment. Also on the right side of my cheek I feel a line and its a white line. No pain. And in little spots I feel little bumps. No pain. Just tiny ones. What is this?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
white line is nothing but a linear alba which is a normal feature, little white spots you are talking seems to be Fordyce granules which is a development anomaly but will not cause any harm so, for both of these features you dont have to be worry. Pain and tingling sensation on gums can be due to inflammation so better to visit dentist for scaling and can apply gum paint 3 to 4 times a day.
Thank you
