Soft mushy gum after skin graft

I had a receding gum on my top back tooth. I had a skin graft to cover
the receding gum and it was great for 8 months. Then I started getting
a funny taste. The skin graft became soft and mushy in my mouth. If I
touched it with my finger it felt the same as the other side. But with
my tongue it is very soft. The taste runs from bitter to sometimes
sweet. Anyway after 5 months I had the oral surgeon re-do the skin
graft. I still have the same problem. Then I had the tooth pulled and
the graft removed. I still have the soft mushy skin and taste in my
mouth. I take vitamin C and B complex. I've tried several natural
healing medicines. Has anyone ever come across this? My dentist and
surgeon are totally baffled. They know it is not in my head but they
can't tell why the gum is so soft and mushy. Please anyone know of
someone or yourself that has had this, or what can be done? Thanks.
