Blisters in mouth mucous membranes

[Simon10]

Any ideas here is greatly appreciated... I've seen 2 dentists, 4 ENT-specialists and 1 GP and no one can tell me what's wrong with my.

Back in my mouth, just adjancent to my wisdom teeth and the opening of me jaw, I been getting blisters, that emerges as soon as I eat something that makes any friction against the surface. The blisters however dissapear in a few hours, just to return after I eat something again.

The area back is slightly swollen, and the docs keep thinking it comes from the mucous membrane. Anyone actully experienced something like this before? It's not afte (stomatitis), and not herpes and actually don't hurt - they just keep to drive me crazy as my tounge feels the blisters back in the jaw.

Please, help if you can - this issue drives my crazy, it has been going on for six months and no one doc can give me relief...

Most dentists are not very good stomatologists and the same goes for a lot of ENT chaps.

Try and find a good dermatologist who is interested in mucous membrane disorders of the mouth.

That'll be the fellow for you.

Me? I've no idea (well, a couple, but it isn't my field).

Pilot, not a doctor, but . . .


Reaction to a specific food - like shrimp? Narrow down what you've just eaten.


This reaction would probably be in the form of blisters of histamine/clear fluid.

Any swelling in the neck or under the jaw?

[Simon10]

Reaction is regardless of what kind of food. It seem to be triggerd by mechanical friction i.e. if a crum or so touches the palate. No swelling in neck or jaw, but I feel soar in the mouth - especially in the adjancent teeths (wisdom theeth).

Go figure! I've got at referal now (next thursday) to the university hospitals oral medicine department. Will see what happens...

Quite a few possibilities: Behcets for example. Dermatologist and/or Rheumatologist is your best bet. Avoid anybody with a surgical qualification!

Recently, distressed by sore gums, I took the elimination of factors to extremes. I used nothing but salt to clean my teeth, then when that made them rather open-nerved, I changed to a mouthwash fluid for a time. It had the desired result.

I had however got a clue that I'm reacting to something in some soaps - can't touch washing up liquid for example.

Again, just thinking laterally, but an expert is obviously the right course of action.
