Spots on my hard palate

[polichinelle]

Hi,

A week ago I've noticed pink spots on my hard palate then they quickly change of colour and became red and then they became yellow center with red border and they also became wider. Anyone knows what it could be ? Should have been concerned ?
And also since 2 month have got an allergic rhinitis..could it be link ?

This almost looks like a herpes zoster infection in the mouth. If you ever had a cold sore before, if means you were infected with the herpes virus at some stage. The virus then becomes inactive, and when you go through periods where your immune system is a bit compromised, such as suffering with rhinitis, the virus flares up. Stress also does this as well as a host of other factors. Lesions like this disappear on its own after about 2 weeks. We only treat the symptoms in a case like this.
