Go and take him to be checked out by your Doctor for reasurrance especially as you have some knowledge.

Yea...I mean, it's only my tongue that's the problem...some days my tongue looks dry...and the lesions seem to be going down..and then few days down the road they come back. The only reason I think the herpes is related to the lesions in my mouth is because I didn't have this problem before I need to go and have another test. Thanks everyone.

It grew and spread to the other side of the tongue. It is always painless, unless picked at. The lesions present as flattened white wrinkly patches, that can be rubber off with a paper towel exposing a red base underneath, that sometimes bleeds. I am quite certain it is not thrush, as my mother is a pediatric nurse practitioner and assures me it couldn't be this. I have not been on any antibiotics for years and don't have a problem with being sick in general.

because I have no visible lesions or anything. However; my lips and tongue are burning...and I know that if u do have symptoms, then the blood test will be accurate more likely. Is the tongue and lips burning/stinging/tingling enough of a symptom for the results to be accurate?

For more than 20 years, been getting these warts or lesions that come and go in my mouth. Started after an oral encounter ~ 1995. No sexual intercourse, but kissing that likely transmitted something to me since soon after, developed a flesh colored lump with a white top on the underside of my tongue. This lump wasn't too large, but definitely noticeable. I kept rubbing it against my bottom teeth and it eventually broke open and bleed a bit, but eventually went away.

After few weeks i got fever and also swollen lymph nodes behind ear and groin and also unusual lesions on my tongue then after consultng doctor and taking medication i was perfectly fine. After exact 4 months i went for hiv test(ag/ab) and my test result shows up negative but I am still worried because after havng that protected sex unusual lesions appeared on my tongue and they are still on my tongue. Please guide me. I am quite worried.

http://www.studydroid.com/imageCards/0b/87/card-11803657-front.jpg I was treated with Nystatin but it did not cure me. A week later, my tongue looked better, but still not cured. The night sweats went away after the third week but I began to experience fatigue and my CBC results began to show irregularities (please see chart): http://www.medhelp.org/user_photos/show/265672 After six weeks, my tongue is still tingling and numb and ulcerated.

My main concern and question is would geograohic tongue only appear on this one spot on the tongue? The lesions do change in size and shape and they are red in the center with the whitish yellow border. They do seem to grow every day, then disappear only to reappear the very next day on the same spot and location on his tongue. I am a little anxious that this could be something more worrisome like cancer. Is this normal behavior for gt to only pop up in one area of the tongue?

Turns out to be geographic tongue, the recurring lesions are pink with yellowish to white borders and recur in different places on the the tongue. This is a harmless condition, but is very alarming to look at. Also there is no cure for this condition. I think I have been cursed.

hello, I feel sometimes my tongue is getting bigger, and it pushes my teeth so my tongue getting shape inside of my teeth, it gives pain and in afew days some mouth lesions occurs, what can I use for this ?

t reveal any spinal lesions, though my neurological exam says I have lesions on my spine (according to my neuro). He says they're just too small to see, and he doesn't care how infinitesimally small they are, they're still there. I wonder if they'll grow over time and become more visible? Great pics, Jen!

Subsequently, I have had two severe outbreaks with sores all in my mouth, tongue, cheeks, and a few lesions in the genital area (first time for this ever). Severe enough that I could not eat for 3 days. Doctor suggested upping dose for valtrex from 1 g to 3 g for 7 days. I had blood panels done the only noticeable thing was a pretty low Vitamin D level (17) and high triglycerides (210). My question is: is this common?

Your descriptions appear to be consistent with clinical presentation of geographic tongue or benjgn migratory glossitis.

I am 76 years of age. I have had various episodes of lesions on my tongue for about 15 years, many doctors have said it was either cold sores or canker and prescribed zovirax. I have been living with and having both oral and natural sex for 5 years with one sex partner, she never had a problem, we no longer live together. Prior to that time I lived with several women...no problem. Since February I have been living with my latest friend (which should be the last)..

So if I'm only get small lesions less than 1/2inch and around 2-3 on my tongue....what does that sound like to you?

I also had burning/ just weird sensations in my back, thighs, toes, and face. I then got lesions on my tongue! I went to a walk in clinic, was told it was thrush. I went to my family doctor, he said it wasn't thrush and could be herpes. He gave me Acyclovir for a week. It didn't help. Oh, I also had discharge in my eyes and my eye doctor said my ducts were blocked up and it could be an allergic reaction.

Oral thrush causes creamy white lesions, usually on your tongue or inner cheeks. The lesions can be painful and may bleed slightly when you scrape them. Sometimes oral thrush may spread to the roof of your mouth, your gums, tonsils or the back of your throat. Although oral thrush can affect anyone, it's more likely to occur in babies and people who wear dentures, use inhaled corticosteroids or have compromised immune systems.

---My dry mouth came down a little ---And PAINFUL LYMPH NODES WERE NOT PRESENT ANYMORE ---After 2 weeks I noticed again 2 lesions (Smaller but 2 of them) this time ON THE SIDE OF MY TONGUE the same process after a few days they went away again no pain but this led me to believe it was more conclusive like HAIRY LEUKOPLAKIA because i have had total of 2 more lesions again on side of the tongue (total of 4 on side and only 1 on top of the tongue overall) although when I searched for Hairy leuk

ve had painful sores on my tongue in usually the same spot since I was about 17. These sores are sensitive to the touch and usually heal in 3-5 days. They look kind of like a pimple (3mm) on the side of my tongue with a small abcess in the middle. So my question do you think I could be having an atypical HSV-1 outbreak & would these scabs be testable for HSV? I am currently in a relationship and having protected sex.

Went to Dentist today that ordered a biopsy on white lesions ( which to me looks like a white film and patches on tongue) on cheeks and sides of tongue. The white film on tongue and cheeks does not slough off which the dentist said is better then having it scrape off and have redness underneath. About 2 months ago I performed oral sex on a male and I am also male. I believe I swallowed but know I did not do anything other then that.

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!

like geographic tongue. My question really is, can you use a tongue brush to remove geographic tongue? I can do this and want to confirm that this is a characteristic of this condition.

While I brushed my teeth and gently brushed my tongue I noticed lesions on my tongue when I spit, even with clear water, it has a hint of bright red (blood) in it. The lesions on my tongue, by this third day, are almost 1/2 deep as my tongue is thick. I thought perhaps I wasn't drinking enough water, and dehydration was the cause, but this does not not really appear to be the problem. I have a multitude of allergies, but if this is a result is it a new one.
