What Is The Suggestion For Chronic Pain On The Soft Palate And Very Dark Veins?
I have had a chronic and sometimes unbearable pain on the soft palater in my mouth. The pain has been constant for about 5 months and NEVER stops. It feels like it is in the tissue and not on the surface. I recently took a photo in my mouth and noticed a lot of very dark veins. Coincidently, the areas that have the largest and darkest veins seem to be where the greatest pain comes from. Could veins actually be causing this constant and intense pain? Any other suggestions that I should research? I have had a CT Scan and I am clear from cancer. Waiting to see an ENT.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that you are having pain in your soft palate, there dan be two reasons for this pain
- first it can be possible that one of your tooth adjacent to that area of palate may be infected and now it has formed an abscess in the apical region of tooth which might be spreading towards palate.
-second it can be possible that there is a soft tissue cyst in that region of palate.
But there is nothing to worry in both the cases, as you should visit a dentist who will take a full mouth x - ray and confirm the condition.
And treatment will be planned accordingly.
Thank you.
