It seems like to scratch my palate with my nails.My teeth and gums are healthy.I am allergic to smoke, less sleep and  but they aren't related to the itchyness of my palate, because it'll happen randomly. It'll pop up in the middle of the night or just randomly in the day for a few hours n its been now for months. please need your advice.Does anyone have any clue what it could be?? Doctor: Hello there ,  Thanks for writing your query,  According to your symptoms i suspect your palatal mucosa of hard and soft palate are inflammed , may be due to allergy to certain food stuffs , physical or chemical trauma , allergy to smoke etc.  It may be caused due to several reasons like deficiency or certain vitamins especially vitamin B12 and vitamin C.   Maintain good oral hygiene by practising regular mouth rinsing with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like betadine or chlorhexidine.   start with multivitamin supplements for 7 to 10 days and vitamin C lozenges will help in resolving the problem.   avoid alcohol , carbonated drinks , tobacco chewing and smoking as these may worsen the area affected.   Apply oral antiseptic ,analgesic ointments like dentogel or mucogel topically over the affected area  i hope this helps ,  take care.
