localized pink patch on roof of mouth (hard palate)

Hello,
I have a quick concern, I am a 27 year old male living in California. Don't smoke nor drink. However about a month ago I noticed a bump that appeared on the roof of my mouth toward the left side. It did not hurt or blister. The bump went away in about 7 days. However now I have a localized dark pink patch on the roof of my mouth, in the center. I does not feel rough or bleed or look like an ulcer of any sort. I did go to my dentist and she said, it looks more like a allergic reaction, a rash and nothing of concern.
I am getting a little concerned since its been about 25 days since its been there. I don't know if my eyes are playing trciks, but from the looks of it, seems like the pigmentation is slowly returning to normal. Its not spreading or anything and neither does it hurt or feel like anything. If I don't look at it, the roof of my mouth feels normal. Also, a note that I do have nasal allergies and wondering if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks!

As a general rule any sore that remains in your mouth for more than 7 to 10 days should be seen by a professional. An oral surgeon would be a good idea.
