OK I took my contact lenses out so I could see better up close(getting old haha) and i noticed that the white coming up through the gums appears to be white material with little blue dots or perforations. I'm assuming it is the membrane. Is this normal? I will call the doc tomorrow and let him know just to be on the safe side.
