11. Mouth Ulcers – The Painful Oral Manifestation of Vasculitis
Mouth ulcers, also known as oral aphthous ulcers, can be a symptom of vasculitis. These painful sores can develop on the inside of the cheeks, lips, or gums, and may make eating and drinking uncomfortable. Mouth ulcers can result from inflammation of the blood vessels supplying the oral tissues, leading to damage and the formation of painful sores.
If mouth ulcers are present, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider who can help determine if vasculitis is the cause and recommend appropriate treatment options. (11)
