Sorry it's me again.

Sigh.

Pretty sure whatever cocktail of infections I have are strains that target connective tissue.

Just noticed when I brushed my teeth this morning that I have a bunch or round smooth bumps in my mouth on the inside of my cheeks.

They don't sting or feel irritated.

Just like small mung beans underneath the skin of my cheeks.

They will irritate soon because I keep checking them with my tongue. Haha.

Anyone have this?

Could this be Bart or another annoying infection?

The bumps are still there and there is more today.

Has anyone had Bart nodules in their mouth?

Could this be yeast? I had this with a yeast infection. Are they white or light colored?
 
Posted by GretaM (Member # 40917) on :
 
Pink. Same color as my cheeks.

Could be yeast but is yeast itchy?

My tongue is pink also.

These are not yeast. They are pronounced cheek salivary glands ,they are within the connective tissue of the the cheek.
There are also glands at the angle of the lower jaw that comes out at the upper first molar. There are also sublingual glands that produce saliva under the tongue.
With bumps can be what call lichen planus , which is a benign growth on the cheek and gums that normally comes out with stress , of unknown origin.

IIRC, lichen planus can be caused by Lyme.

Lyme...geesh. It really does affect everywhere in the body. Yikes!
