Mouth rot?

My bearded dragon has two red lines that run parallel across the roof of the mouth. When things are symmetrical or parallel they are usually normal, but is this an exception? The down part of his mouth is pink, a light pink. The roof tho, is a mix of grey and light yellow. So you know on the roof of the mouth, at the tip of it, it has like a small bump? It has small pink and yellow patches. I also saw he slightly opened his mouth while eating and when I handled him, but he was really hot. I’ve heard different bearded dragon species can have their mouth colour of either a yellow or a pink tone, but is this normal? He doesn’t have any signs of mouth rot or RI, and according to a friend which saw this earlier, he has been like this for some months, except for the bump in the tip of his mouth roof, which now is only a bit more yellowish. Any ideas what could this be?

I am not sure one of the other more experienced people w/ health issues would need to see it that is why I asked for a pic of it so they can tell you better

These were the best images I could get. You can kind of see part of the redness in the first picture

It doesn't look like mouth rot. it could just be a natural red color but it may also be a sore or wound. Keep an eye on the area to see if it is expanding. It also couldn't hurt to pick up some maxi guard gel. It's an oral cleanser you can apply to the area with a q-tip to help keep it clean and prevent infection if it does look like a wound.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
