[|Human|] i have hep c, about a year ago I noticed my gum turning red and a white film, my doctor told me I was alergic to whitening toothpaste which I had switched to, because of the hep c I have erthema nodosum and I am on minocycoline, my dentist said this med will help w/the gums, but its not, why
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. The redness in the gums could be because of gum infection secondary to deposits, or it can be because of allergic dermatitis. Consult an oral physician and rule out these two conditions. If it is because of gum infection then get the teeth cleaned. If it is allergic dermatitis change the toothpaste and apply topical steroids like triamcinolone acetone(0.1%). I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
