It;s not swollen nor itchy.If you look upclose you cand see tiny like blood vessels.Vascular leasion?Now you are scaring me.I was to the dentist twice in the past year.neither of them mentioned nothing abot it.i observed while looking at it the past week because i scratched my palate and it felt odd but that is gone now.I looked at some pictures and i saw bluish colors so i guessed is was normal.don;t you have like blood vessels underneath?

The picture reveals that right palate appears to be more bluish than left. Bluish color may be associated with vascular lesion. Seeing an oral pathologist or oral medicine specialist is advised.
