That's a great question! While most mouth-related amyloidosis symptoms tend to show up on the tongue, amyloid deposits in the mouth can cause sores, blisters, and lesions in various oral areas.
A MyAmyloidosisTeam member shared that their tongue had "sores along the edge and top," which shows how uncomfortable mouth sores can be with amyloidosis. Mouth symptoms linked to amyloidosis can include:
- Spots or blisters on oral tissues
- Pain and soreness
- Unusual textures or patches
- Increased risk of infection due to lesions
If sores on the palate are persisting, it's worth bringing up with a healthcare provider, especially since open sores in the mouth can allow bacteria in and lead to infection. A dentist can also help manage oral symptoms and may recommend special mouth rinses to help.
