Red patch in mouth 1 article

Within its product category, Red patch in mouth is an erythematous area of oral mucosa that appears redder than the surrounding tissue. A persistent unexplained lesion, especially one with mixed colour, induration or risk factors, requires timely professional assessment. The visual finding is not equivalent to erythroplakia without clinical evaluation; trauma, inflammation, candidal change and potentially serious epithelial lesions can produce a red patch, so site, border, surface and duration are recorded carefully.
