Hello Merl-Sue

Unfortunately, you will have to avoid foods that aggravate the situation.

Ask your doctors for a mouthwash that can give some pain relef. You could try the following:

Offer topical analgesia if mouth ulcers are painful:

• Localized pain: choline salicylate, benzydamine spray (Difflam), or lidocaine (lignocaine) ointment or spray can be used, but have a short duration of action.
  
• Mechanical protection: carbenoxolone or carmellose, etc (e.g Aloclair and Gelclair) can be used to provide a protective barrier over the ulcer.
  
• Diffuse oral pain: benzydamine mouthwash (Difflam); diclofenac or aspirin dispersible tablets (used as a mouthwash) can be used but might an effect on bleeding

Speak to your doctors. Let us know what you find helps.

Please Help

Good morning Jay,
The person to check this out for you is your dentist or your doctor.There is no substitute for professional advice.There are many reasons for lumps appearing in the mouth and only one of them is cancer but no one can afford to take a risk so tomorrow morning fix an appointment to see your dentist or doctor.
I hope things turn out well for you and please let us know how you get on.
Keep Smiling

Hi there, I've been having anxiety attacks over the thought of something happening to my Mom. She is a very healthy 59 year old, who excercises regularly and takes great care of herself. Her mother died from a combination of a few rare diseases. Amaloydosis and Monoclonal Gammopathy. My Mom has been having reaccuring blood blisters in her mouth for the past six months. In addition, she's been having skin irritation under her eyes. They are flaming up for no apparent reason. We want to blame it on make-up or too much sun, but I'm just wondering if these early symptoms could at all be related to what her mother died from? Are the above diseases heriditary? Any information would be much appreciated and helpful. She has an appointment with a vascular doctor this month. I was just hoping to have a better understanding of what to expect later in the month.

My mother has suffered on and off over the years with blood blisters on the inside of her mouth on her cheek and palate. My son was diagnosed with "geographic mouth". Both are due to chemical sensitivities. My mother also has been known to get blood blisters if she drinks something extremely hot or cold. The physicians have told her that the vessels in her cheek are very thin and burst at the slightist change in temperature or to a medication she is allergic or sensative toward. I thought that this might help, in that, my mother has been dealing with these blisters in her mouth since she was five. And, she's doing fine and dandy. But, my mother has also gone to the doctor on a yearly basis, and had all the appropriate blood tests etc. As for my son and his geographic mouth. They are lesions on the tongue and surrounding area of the mouth which appear and disappear in different areas. This is also due to change of temperature, and allergies, and chemical and environmental sensativities. The toothpaste he was using was changed, as was his diet. But, they still pop up depending on whether he ate too many tocos which were too spicy. He too, is doing fine and working in genetic sequencing lab at Duke. But, again, he had geographic mouth and until we brought him to a dentist, no doctor could diganosis the problem (which we paid dearly trying to figure it out). It wasn't until he had his first visit after about one year old, that the dentist said in passing "oh, and he's has geographic mouth". That's when he explained what it was. So, check with the dentist or oral physician, and get all testing done and examinations. And, mainly TELL the doctors what ALL your symptoms are. Don't be shy. Tell him if anyother member has similar problems. You're paying alot...Don't accept a nurse/or first line of defense the Physician's assistant. You're paying for your own health...Take control and tell the doctor what HE can do For YOU...And, be specific. Hope this helped. By the way, your body is your best tally on whether something is ok or not. Listen to it. Also, to help with both my mother's and son's lesions, rinsing with warm water and salt; or using listerine with citrus (water done if it burns too much), are helpful. Hope this helps...Raised in the medical community...Luisa.

I too have suffered from blood blisters in the mouth. Mostly on the pallet or in the back of the throat. Often they are quite large and it suddenly feels as if your air pipe is getting cut off. I usually go to the bathroom and clear my throat with such force that it forces the blister to burst. Then there is the clearing and spitting of blood for a littlewhile. I get a glass of ice water and there is nothing to do but wait and keep drinking. Then for a week or more after an episode I feel as if I've got phlem in the throat and it is sore to swallow.
Since I am 66 years old and this has been happening off and on since I was in my 20s obviously it is not fatal. Just annoying and sometimes painful. I have seen many doctors and specialists but none of them could find a cause. Even when the damage could be seen with their own eyes they still did not know why.
Sometimes it happens a couple of times in a week or a month and then I can go for months before is happens again.
If anyone know what this ailment is then I would like to know and have you email me with the answer.

Hello Been there

You might find this past post of interest: Angina bullosa haemorrhagica

I'm 72 and have been experiencing mouth blood blisters for 45 years. They occur after sharp food or a biting of inside the cheek. I see the recommendations for healing. Certain solutions that I'm not familiar with, however I've used peroxide as a rinse after relief of the blood with a small sterolized sewing needle. Once recently the blister became so large without a needle handy, I reverted to pinching it between two fingernails, allowing the release of blood.
Unfortunately being at a function, peroxide was not available and the skin broken by fingernails became slightly infected. After a week with peroxide and Listerine rinses, The sore is healed. My decision for emergencies like this is to carry a small needle and matches for sterolization of such. Any viewpoint on my methods would be appreciated as my doctor seems all to confortable with my methods although he does shake his head alot and calls me Doctor, facisiously.

Regarding angina bullosa hemorrhagica, you can see photos on http://images.google.com/images?rlz=1C1CHMG_enUS291US30...ica&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi. The suggestion that it might be oral herpes scared the daylight out of me. I basically don't put anything in my mouth other than food, and inhaler. Yes, inhaler, which I haven't found it being mentioned yet. I have asthma and I inhale asmanex daily. Asmanex gave me tingling feet, and now angina bullosa hemorrhagica. This page (http://dermnetnz.org/site-age-specific/angina-bullosa.html) talks about inhaled steroid could cause blood blister. Thank heaven to know that. I always thought it was my every other day aspirin was giving me the blood blister. Thank you for the name angina bullosa haemorrhagica because it allowed me to do research and drop a heaven load off my chest.

I too just began having these blood blisters occur within the last 6 months, happening perhaps once every 3-4 weeks. At first they only happened behind my last molar about where a wisdom tooth would have been had it notbeen pulled. I thought that my salivary gland was getting blocked. The bumps are completely painless and emit fresh, red blood when I lance them (which I always do by smushing them). They heal without issue within a day or two. Yesterday was the first time that I had one appear on the side of my mouth on the inside of my left cheek. Same sensation, same everything. It seems that I also am getting some kind of "Angina bullosa haemorrhagica" as there seems to be no way that this is some kind of Herpes outbreak to me. Thankfully it seems that they do not occur in my throat as yet. I am guessing that it must be some kind of allergic response to something I am eating as it always occurs during or after a meal as best as I recall. I throw this out there just to add to the discussion of those that seem to suffer from the same symptoms that I do. It seems harmless though a little disturbing that it just suddenly emerged around my turning 40.

haa so i googled it again since it's happening again today and i got pointed to the same site i posted back in november/05. still no idea why it happens but yesterday was the first time since 05 that i got these mini blood blisters inside my mouth. check out the photo here
