I don't know if its a HPV wart - but if it was cancer due to HPV would warts show or not ?
Avatar f tn s possible that they could still appear on the tongue. Does this look like herpes/cold sore? The sores do not hurt unless I bite or touch them with my teeth. They've been there for about a week now. My other thought is that it might be a canker sore or something.
Avatar n tn does not sound anyhting all like cancer. sounds like an irritation fibroma--- look it up on the internet and stop worrying. cancer lesions in the mouth tends to be faster growing (weeks or months) and are not predisposed to developing where there was trauma from things like cheek biting. go to the dentist and let him or her look at it.
Avatar m tn Hi. a couple of concerns i have. Everything was fine then all of the sudden under my tongue started hurting i think a gland or something, then it started hurting in the back right under the tongue. I got up to look in mirror then a instant sudden lump started forming under my chin on my neck throat area. It feels like a tumor but would think tumor just doesn't pop up. the lump feels like it goes down then come back i think.
Avatar f tn and starting from there i had red dots on my tongue , ulcre all over my mouth , canker sores and white tongue and something like back on my cheek plate like a patch and theres like a line between this patch and the tumer which i can feel by my tongue ! and all these symptoms exist till now Had like 6 neative hiv teste last one was 16 weeks after my last exposure I visited a dr today ENT and he seemd surprised and said CT scan then 2 sec he changed his mind to a MRI face and cheeks !!
Avatar m tn Hey doc went to my docs she said that it doesn't look like mouth cancer to her something about color and etc and said she has diagnosed that in a couple patients thinks it may be from a allergic reaction but still wants me to go see a ENT to figure it out and iam guessing even if there pretty sure it's procedure to refer to specialist with something like this ?
Avatar n tn Hi John I went in for a dental cleaning and xrays ( had not been there in a while) I struggle with Fibro, RA & OA, so wanting to go anywhere while at anytime any part of my body could cramp up or spasm was not something I relished being away from home during a flare, but I went, the girl cleaning my teeth was pulling on my tongue looking at both sides ( I never had a cleaner do this) good news 0 cavities, bad news he gave me a mirror, again my tongue got pulled to the side and way in the b
Avatar n tn Also I have the ruff area in the back of my tongue and it comes and goes depending on the acid flow. They look like little bumps in the back of my tongue and it fills ruff when I swallow. What are the symptoms of throat cancer? What do I have to look for?
Avatar f tn It does indeed look like geographic tongue (benign migratory glossitis). The description you provided fits perfectly into hallmark signs of geographic tongue. The direct cause of it is not well understood. Such condition usually runs in a family and passed from generation to generation. The treatment is currently unavailable and during flare up it is advised for patients to stay away from hot/spicy foods. I believe research did show that some foods may exacerbate the condition.
Avatar m tn I did start noticing a large mass below my tongue on the right side, when I stick my tongue out it sort of lifts over my teeth and it's easy to see. Maybe related? I had a cancer screening about 6 months ago and it was fine, no cancer. It was more of a general screening though, also, would cancer suddenly appear in a 6 month period like this? I was always under the impression that it's a slow thing that happens over time.
Avatar n tn I have tested for HIV neg several times however 3 years and 4 months past my only possible exspouser I now have tongue problems. its a slight build up if you look in the picture its on the upper right side. it tingles at times and has been there for a month. I went to the dentist and asked the hygienist but no real help. also my taste buds in the from and side of my tongue are very visible. you can view my post to the Doctor if need be. Thank you for your time.
Avatar f tn The back base of my tongue looks very white. I also notice what looks like a yellowish white zit looking thing near the tonsils. The tonsils themselves look very bumpy, discolored,and infected. It looks like thwy are eother growing larger or there is growth forming on them which in return worries me. I hope this isnt cancer related. This has been going on for a while now and idk what it is. Any advice and knowledge that can help me would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn hey guys so even though i've had a negative oraquick at 4.5 months post exposure I'm sitll very anxious about the way the sides of my tongue looks. Here's what it looks like when the bright LED is shining on it. You can't see the slight white marks if the LED light is not on them, but I'm wondering if this is showing mild OHL starting to develop? Or is it the skin of the tongue just being shown brightly because of the light.
Avatar f tn I think I worry about health issues to avoid dealing with my life. Anyway about two months ago I noticed a small white pimple like growth on the top center of my tongue. I went away then came back/ I kept checking it and obsessing about it. then I went for my cleaning and I told the dentist about it. He could not see it. because it had gone down by then,. But he said that citris foods or even stress can cause them. I was worried because it wasnt on the tip of my tongue but on the top, center.
Avatar n tn it does not sound like cancer under your tongue but it is impossible to say without seeing you. Look, it is what it is whether someone gives you a label for it or not. White lesions can be one of a myriad of things from benign and common to more rare and serious. worrying gets you nowhere and can't be good for you physically or mentally. go get it checked out.
Avatar f tn Black, hairy tongue is a temporary, harmless (benign) oral condition that gives your tongue a dark, furry appearance. The distinct look of black, hairy tongue usually results from an overgrowth of bacteria in the mouth. Although black, hairy tongue may look alarming, it doesn't cause any health problems. Black, hairy tongue usually resolves without medical treatment." Yikes, I hope so.
Avatar f tn Mouth cancer can cause a lump or area of thickened skin on the side of your tongue. A clinical examination is must. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Seek medical opinion. Keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar n tn I wonder if this could be indicative of tongue cancer? Would tongue cancer present this way (acutely, disappearing for hours at a time)? Any opinions on what this could be? By the way, last week I ate three entire cans of Salt and Vinegar chips during a three night span. Could there be a correlation? Thanks!
