White spots on soft palate: any explanation?

[Matthew1995]

I have terrible anxiety, so it’s really bothering me. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me that these little white spots are?

A friend said they could be Fordyce spots?

 

[Dr M]

Good day

Fordyce granules, or ectopic sebaceous glands are a normal occurrence in the oral cavity. Although more common in the buccal or cheek area, they are known to sometimes occur in other areas as well.
I would not stress and just keep an eye on the area for any changes.

Guys I have the same thing. What is that? Can someone tell me. How did you treat it?

 

[Chelly]

Did you find out what they are? I have the same things in my mouth and they won’t go away!

Our inside mouth or esophagus absence of hair so these glands when visible looks like that . Its a normal anatomy of human. Its helps our mucosa or oral cavity remained mouist and few other things .

You can search about it

No need to treat cause its not a disease . Its a gland of oral cavity

I have this. Mine feel like sandpaper and get irritated. I didn’t have it before so it’s not a normal part of my mouth. Any help?

Hi Matthew,

Did you ever figure out what the bumps are? I have them too and no one knows. mine get irritated sometimes. My ENT said they look like swollen salivary glands but he does not know why.

Have you figured out what they are??

Discover the truth behind their identity. Experience the frustration of having persistent things in your mouth that just won't budge!

Any news on this? I have these too and my ENT seems to have no value what it could be.

 

[Labella1986]

Same with mine. He has not idea. He though maybe swollen minor salivary glands but isn’t sure!

 

[quenna]

How long do you guys have it?

Do they get worse or start to hurt?

I discovered mine around two months who when I had a cold and even though I'm not sick anymore they don't go away. They don't hurt and they don't get worse but not better either.

 

[Labella1986]

Mine are still here many months later. I think I noticed mine after being sick, but now they’ve been here six months (at least since I’ve noticed it).

 

[quenna]

Could the spots be minor salvatory glands which suddenly got swollen or visible?

That’s what my ENT was thinking. But he is not 100% sure and does not know why
