Hello all. I'm brand new to this forum and hope there's some help out there. A lesion on my hard palate has been bleeding slowly for the last 24 hours. There is no associated pain, but the bloody saliva deposits sometimes have skin fibers mixed in. I am a smoker and have not had any dental exams/work for over 30 years. My oral health is in very poor shape. I do have Medicare (Part A only), along with full Veteran's Administration health care coverage except oral and dental. Any possible home remedies or other suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you.

Hello patb,welcome to our group,make appointment with ENT Dr asap DO NOT DELAY as you are smoker for so long like I was it could be minor issues or could be bad actor the sooner you get it checked out the better treatment will be good luck
