Oral mucosal diseases may present symptoms such as infection and atrophy. In ulcerative conditions, the patient's oral mucosa may undergo atrophy or hyperplasia. In cases of glossitis, cheilitis, or angular cheilitis, patients may experience changes in color and texture, or develop taste abnormalities. The symptoms of recurrent aphthous ulcers include the formation of small, sunken lesions on non-keratinized mucosa. The surrounding mucosa appears red and congested, and the lesion is typically painful.
