is it possible to have freckles inside the mouth.

[TheEnthusiasticTroll]

noticed this morning when brushin dds teeth that she has what looks like a freckle on the inside of her cheek just above her very back molers.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have an incospicuous freckle on the inside of mouth, I will take her to have it looked at by gp regardless, but i didnt want to google this and read loads about cancer and scare myself.

bump

leave it a week. If its still there and you are worried, then se GP. It could just be a blood blister type things, where she has bumped her mouth eating a crisp or a sharp crust.

Have you seen this website, the language is a bit techincal, but has some pictures of oral naevi.
(a naevus is a birthmark)

My first thought was Peutz-Jegher?s syndrome. It's supposed to be a dominant gene but friend had it seemingly as a result of random mutation (neither of his parents had it). There are usually freckles in other odd places with PJS.

thanks that is reasuring fireice, it does not look particularly like any of those 3 pictured. It is very small like a black fleck but i suppose she is only six and those pictures where adults.

I will definatly take her to get checked out, I suppose the chances of it being anything terrible are fairly slim in a non smoking, non wine slugging 6 year old.

and less reassuring Aventures, not known of this in our family so far. I cannot help but look at links like this that is why I didnt google,

Ill have her diagnosed with some thing obscure and wrapped in cotton wool before the day is out

PJS isn't that bad, Troll. Honest. The bloke I know with PJS (ex-boyfriend, wicked sense of humour & taught me how to cook) is now in his late 30s, successful career, goes cycling, has a little boy that gives him delight every day. It's hardly a terrible life sentence. He takes iron tablets & gets occasional checkups. That's about all it means.

I just looked at the stomach polops and was a bit , but then read and it looked like with regualr check ups things seemed O.K. I will take her to the drs on monday after school I think.

I just had to update on this. .

I asked dd to look in her mouth this morning at it had vanished.

DD said are you looking for that mark to which i replied yes, she said it was just a bit of dirt mummy I scraped it off mith my nail.

silly me, but i rubbed it with my nail and her toothbrush and it did not come off but relieved.

proof that you should never, ever google symptoms.
