Avatar m tn I have a white / yellowish growth on my tongue that when cleaned using a tongue scraper comes off in a pasty substance. I previously had a yeast infection caused by antibiotics. It lasted several years and affected my tongue and gut health causing growth on my tongue and diarrhea if I ate any breads or sugar. After going through a long course of anti fungal treatment my gut health appears to have fully rebounded but my tongue still has this growth occurring.
Avatar f tn Hi. Ive noticed that I have a white coating on my tongue a lot lately. The medicine I've been taking is Focalin and it says on there as a sympton" dry mouth. so could that be from a dry mouth? i mostly get it in the morning, i read its about bad hygeine? not good. its just really annoying cause my mouth is dry but the white coating makes it kinda moist and gross. and i dont know what to do about it. just brush more i guess?
Avatar n tn My seven year old has a similar growth on the front underside of her tongue. It started out small and looked to be what we as kids called a tast bud sore. Over the course of the past 4 weeks it has grown however from a pin tip size thing to the size of the end of a pen cap. It goes from white to black in color and at times has a reddish tinge in the center. She has complained at times that it hurts.
Avatar n tn I have a growth on my tongue that doesn't hurt. It is located about 1 inch from the tip on the left side. Looks kind of like a taste bud...is flat, same color as the tongue, and does not hurt. Round, about 1/16" in diameter. I also have another one further back that is smaller that is kind of like a flap that is not painless. How do I know if these could be cancerous or not? Should I have them looked at or are they normal.
Avatar n tn I noticed a crusty, scabby growth on the top of my yorkie's head. The vet suggested I wait to see if it changes before we take action. What kind of changes should I look for? Will they be rapid and obvious or subtle? How long should I give the growth/soar to change or heal before I go back into the vet? Thanks.
Avatar m tn I have been waiting 19 days for tongue biopsy result and the lab says they are working on it and haven't forgotten me. There was a noticeable bump on the top of the tongue at the time of the bio, and I detected it after my plastic tongue brush kept making a painful feeling on that spot. This pain went on for a month before I bothered to inspect the tongue, since I assumed I was carelessly jabbing the tongue with the sharp edge.
851294 tn?1239015716 Keeping it in the fridge firms it up even more and makes it easier to scoop some up on a tongue depressor and smear it onto his tongue. The best part about it is that honey really never goes bad, so even if you never use it for anything but dog emergencies, you'll probably never need to buy more than the one jar. If it crystalizes, just set the jar in some hot water until it can be stirred around and it goes right back to its proper consistency.
Avatar n tn White growth on your tongue may not be connected with your tooth. It can be the result of vitamin deficiencies or yeast overgrowth. It might be worth getting tested for these things if it does not go away after your tooth is fixed. http://www.geographic-tongue-remedy.
Avatar n tn He loves sticks so I just assumed he had a piece stuck between his teeth, but when I looked there was something hanging from his gums on his top left side of his gums. The only way I know how to describe it is that it looked like a fat tick hanging. Obv it wasnt but it was dark and hanging half grape size and was hard (tooth like hard) and the attachment was skin connecting it to his gums. He kept licking like he had something in his mouth.
Avatar m tn Hi, Just noticed yesterday a small white growth on the side but towards the front of my tongue. It appears like small pingpoles on the side of my tongue and is painfulf if touched. How can I tell if this is not cancerous.
Avatar m tn I went to see an oral surgeon today for the first time. I've been dealing with a white tongue. During the exam He found a bump on the tip of my tongue today. I didn't notice it or feel it until today when he pointed it out and started squeezing it etc. Coincidental or just perfect timing for this bump to appear? He wasn't sure if it's a wart or scar tissue or something else. Said to come back in a month. He will then biopsy it.
Avatar n tn Dogs stop growing at different ages, depending on breed. Larger dogs stop growing later, smaller dogs earlier. For a Pointer, it will probably be around 1 year, or maybe a little more. Don't you worry about him being a runt! Unless you intend to show him, it won't matter. As long as he is well-nourished through the growing period (and of course well cared-for after) he should grow to be perfectly fit and well. If he's a little smaller than his breed, does that matter?
Avatar f tn I had a growth on my tongue for almost a year. My dentist said I have a fibroma and an appointment was set up with an oral surgeon to have it removed. My question: What is involved with this type of surgery? I was told my insurance would not allow me to be put to sleep, they only allow a local anesthetic. Will it require stitches? Also, will my tongue be sore after the surgery. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/421316'>spot on tongue</a>.
Avatar n tn Just found a large growth on my dogs paw, it's in between the pads, very large and looks like a whole additional pad growing. It's red and swollen. Recently just noticed as he stays with my parents as they have a home for him and I live in an apartment. With the weather being snowy when I was cleaning his paws I noticed it.

Could it be skin cancer? Or a type of it? I have no clue what to do... If this presists we are gonna take her to the vet in a couple of weeks. Please help me.
Avatar n tn The fimbriated fold under my tongue is sore and swollen. It has a little whiteness at the ebd of it also. I was wondering if this is something serious or not.
Avatar f tn Hi, Twice in the past few days my labrador has stopped eating his dinner midway through and just stood there looking concerned and sticking his tongue out or looking like he is having issues with his tongue, After a few minutes of standing with him reassuring him he's ok he seems to go back to normal, and finishes his tea. I can't find any possible reasons for this on the net, never seen this before, haven't changed his food or anything and he's fine apart from this.
Avatar n tn I often get them on the under side of my tongue. I have a bump very similar to that on the roof of my mouth in the back. I just ate garlic bread, so I'm wondering if these bumps can also occur on the roof of your mouth? I mean I literally just noticed it. It doesn't hurt though it does look a little red around the bump.
436837 tn?1293793226 I am the one with the dog and his $1000 growth on his toe.We got fed up with the vets..in this economy they expect people to afford thousands of dollars of care? ...took him to a people doctor, who deals with cancer( not regular office hours believe me).Ok ready for this?

Avatar f tn I think I have oral hpv, I have a growth on the side of my tongue and in the back of my tongue. The first time I mentioned this to two different doctors 5 months ago they said burnt toast could of caused an irritation and by using listerine I kept irritating it. I stopped using listerine and waiting for the side growth to go away. Then bumps in the back of my tongue developed 2 months after and I still have the growth on the side of my tongue.
Avatar f tn Hello, I went to an ENT a few weeks ago and the strange areas on my tongue were geographic tongue. But my tongue is constantly white no matter how much I brush it and I have been having a sore throat as well. I am not sure why I am so worried. I brought the white tongue to the attention of the MD, but he didn't think much of it. I think it is odd. If anyone else has had any similar experiences, I would love to hear about them. Thanks for your time!
794366 tn?1418009395 I have a white growth on the underside of my tongue, it is on the right side. At night, while I am in a deep sleep, an electrical zap (that's the only way I know how to put it) hits that white growth and sometimes the lower jaw on the same side. I wake up with pain that lasts only for a moment. I am taking Advair, Seroquel, Levothryroxine, and an antibiotic for my sinusitis. Does anyone know what this is?
