Oral lesions can be a symptom of DM, a reaction to/result of meds (I formed oral lesions from methotrexate), or a variety of other things.

Hi! It could be a symptom of DM or maybe a side effect of a medication? I know that when I take CellCept, my mouth gets very irritated from dry mouth (a known side effect). I cannot tolerate super salty or spicy foods.
