 [ Symptoms ] i am 54 and have noticed that the space between my two front teeth is getting wider is this a result of bone loss  my dentist said that the tooth next to one of my front teeth is pushing it and that my front teeth are shifting he suggested i see an orthodontist and look into getting braces are braces the answer for me as a 54 year old [ Disease ] i am sorry to hear you are going through this well it could be a rash or it could be a circulation problem only a physical examination by a health care provider can say for sure what is going on i would advise you to get this checked out sooner rather than later if it is a rash your health care provider can recommend a treatment if it is a sign of a larger problem your healthcare provider can get a jump on treating it which means a better outcome for you there is simply no downside to getting a doctor to look at this hope this helps
