Can teeth whitening damage gums?

I am currently whitening my teeth at home using a kit. Can the gel damage my gums? I put a little too much in the tray last nights and now the edges of my gums are white. Is it just a temporary discoloration or did I damage them?

Yes, it can cause pain, it will not whiten them, it will kind of chap them. Make sure to rinse your mouth thoroughly when you take the gel out.
