I have an area of my upper left gum where there is a dark purple and red spot running from the base of the gum up to the very top. I am missing a tooth in this area beside my front teeth. The purple/red area seems hollow when i run my finger across it.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The hallow red spot could be an ecchymosis or hematoma secondary to any trauma to that site, or it can be arteriovenous malformation. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. It can also occur secondary to any bleeding disorder like thrombocytopenic purpura. You need to get a complete blood investigation along with BT, CT, and INR to rule out bleeding disorder. If it is a hematoma it will heal or reduce by its own. If it is an arteriovenous malformation or thrombocytopenia then you need to consult an oral physician for the treatment. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
