What Does A Painful Scab On The Roof Of The Mouth Indicate?

I have a scab like mark on the roof of my mouth, I noticed it about 3 days ago. It hurt then and bled a little but I switched the foods I was eating to let it heal up. Now it looks like a scab and is brown and yellow. I m a little nervous it doesn t hurt or anything but I don t know if it s serious. I can take a picture and send it as well.

Hello,

Scab like mark on the roof of mouth can be due to any previous injury or can be due to any ulcer formation that is healing. As it bled initially and was painful then it is most probably injury or sore formation. As it has become painless now then probably it is due to healing. Do not worry as if it is just 3 days then it is not anything serious.

As of now you can avoid eating any hard foods to avoid injuring it. Wait and watch it for another 1 week. If you send me the pictures then I can advise you more appropriately.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
