The familiar small bumps in the mouth are
what is known as Stomatitis. Stoma [mouth
or any similar structure] & Itis
[imflammation].
Stomatitis is an inflammation of the
mucous lining of any of the structures in
the mouth, which may involve the cheeks,
gums, tongue, lips, and roof or floor of
the mouth. The inflammation can be caused
by conditions in the mouth itself, such as
poor oral hygiene, poorly fitted dentures,
or from mouth burns from hot food or
drinks, or by conditions that affect the
entire body, such as medications, allergic
reactions, or infections. A form of
stomatitis known as stomatitis nicotina
can be caused by smoking cigars,
cigarettes, and pipes, and is
characterized by small red bumps on the
roof of the mouth. It's naturally common.
More times, it can arise do to certain
foods that have been recently eaten;
similar to cancor sores.
Clearly not any form of herpes. Herpes
that are familiarly common near the oral
of the human body is generally oral herpes
that is a form of blister like outbreak on
and around the lining on the lips.
Glad I could help. any other questions?
