Common Questions and Answers about Tongue sores cancer

tongue

Avatar f tn About 2 weeks ago my husband noticed some spots on the side and top of his tongue. They seemed to have gone away then the one on top came back just a few days later pretty much in the same spot. Yesterday another one poped up on the border of his tongue. It seemed to get big fast. It looks like a bare spot with a white border but it not as red as the top spot. Could this be geographical tongue or something more serious like tongue cancer? He did visit the dentist and they feel it's GT.
Avatar n tn About 5 months ago, I started experiencing small eroded sores on the sides of my tongue where my tongue touches my teeth, near the back of my mouth. These patches have persisted to this day. In the beginning, it was typically just 1 small sore at a time. These sores typically had a very thin white ring around the outside edge and areas grew slowly over a course of several days, until the white ring disappeared and the patches stopped growing.

Avatar f tn Small bumps can be caused by oral herpes simplex virus complex, allergic reactions, early stage syphilis, canker sores, bacterial infections or tuberculosis. Immune disorders can also cause tongue bumps. 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 m tn It is a white-yellowish coating on my tongue, my tongue also has like red bumps at the back of my tongue, scalloped edges and like canker sores in the edges back deeper inside. I find this really scary! Has anyone seen anything like that before? Is that an ARS symptom? My other question is. Have you ever seen or have known about a 28 day combo test (4th generation) negative result changing when restesting in the following weeks/months? Thank you very much for your help and attention.
Avatar f tn You may want to contact your local dental society or the local dental school to get it checked out and find some lower cost dental treatment options. Canker sores/cold sores don't worry me in regards to increased cancer risk at this point. I would worry more about your immune system if you had frequent cold sores such as once a month or multiple ones at a time.
Avatar f tn I have been getting these very painful sores, usually on the tip of my tongue, that I can barely see, except for a tiny hole the size of a pin in the center. Peroxide doesn't help much and eating makes it worse. It is almost unbearable. I have been very busy lately and haven't been able to ask my dentist, but I'm afraid he will just shrug anyway. These sores are recurring and I usually have one coming or going.
Avatar f tn For quite some time now the tip of my tongue is painful. I have not bitten it, nor have I eaten or drank anything too hot. It feels like paper cuts and I have never seen any sores.
Avatar f tn The other night I was making out with this guy who I like, and I noticed that he had something that felt like a sore on his lip. Later on that night, I gave him oral sex... The next morning I woke up and found that I had a sore on each side of my tongue (they rub against my bottom molars). They hurt and look a little bit like canker sores, but I've never gotten a canker sore on my tongue, so I'm trying to find out if it's something I should be worried about...

Avatar n tn Hi, can anyone please tell me if canker sores on the tongue are a sign of HIV possibly 16 weeks after exposure or is this too late? Would any symptoms now be over?
Avatar f tn My 76 year old mother was diagnosed with AML on September 13th and there are no treatment options for her. She is now under the care of hospice. She has horrible mouth sores from the cancer. We have been given Magic Mouthwash, but it is really not helping. Parts of her gums and inner lips are turning black from the infection. The hospice nurse says her mouth is rotting. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do for this? It is very painful and swollen.
Avatar m tn Inflamed papillae can sometimes cause small, painful bumps on the top surface or upper sides of your tongue. Tongue sores are usually caused by trauma, physical injury, bacterial or viral infections, vitamin deficiencies and tonsillitis. If sores are large, painful, or persistent, it is best to consult a doctor. It is best to avoid citrus fruits and acidic vegetables and spicy foods till it is cured.
Avatar f tn Immune disorders can also cause tongue bumps. 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 second opinion if the symptoms are severe or persistent. 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!
Avatar f tn Im 13 weeks pregnant and my mouth is covered in blisters. All over my tongue and my lips. Its getting very hard to eat anything besides bananas and yogurts. Has this happened anyone else? And what did you do to get rid of them?
Avatar n tn I described in detail to my PD today the problems I have been having with dry mouth, swollen tongue, sores on my tongue, and excessive worry that it might be cancer! What is wrong with her, that she wouldn't mention that Adderall could be causing this problem? I also drink a lot of coffee during the day, and don't get adequate sleep because I have a job and many home responsibilities. Just wanted to share with others, in case it can help others.
Avatar f tn A very common condition for the tongue is called geographic tongue, where there is swelling in various areas and not in others and often redness and tenderness. Also, there can be fungal infections of the tongue. Throat cancer would not be present as an acute problem, and especially not just on the tongue. If this continues, I would recommend that you see your dentist. They would be perhaps a better resource than the STD clinic. I'm sorry I can't help you more with this question.
Avatar m tn I was grade 4 and stage 3 did my 6 months of interferon . wasnt to bad lots of sores in mouth and shivers . never actually had a burning tounge though .

I have though since been on lots of meds and have aquired the burning tounge like freezer burn 24 hrs a day and much saliva build up .
Avatar n tn I went to my dentist 4 days ago and he did a mouth exam and looked at my mouth neck jaw under my tongue and the roof of my mouth and when he was done said mouth sores, canker sores but why are they so slow healing I have used salt water and anything you can think of. PS help what should I do I have also been to two doctors and they said the same thing.
Avatar m tn Then weeks later is when i started to get the burning mouth and canker sores. Keep in mind I do get canker sores alot does this mean anything?
Avatar f tn I dealt with the burning tongue when I had chemotherapy for cancer. Magic mouthwash is a special prescribe mouth wash. It mixed specifically for you. Drug therapies effect people differently. Call your doctor and get relief.
Avatar n tn Canker Sores Canker sores are some of the most common causes of white bumps under tongue. These sores are also known as mouth ulcers. Canker sores most commonly appear due to a viral infection that can be caused by the growth of bacteria and other forms of viruses in the body. Incidentally, an overload of thrush on tongue or mouth can also be responsible for this because thrush causes an attack of bacteria and other viruses.
Avatar m tn Its an inflammatory response on the tongue in which the red/white patches of the tongue move around and sometimes results in a burning sensation. It could also be a side effect of one of your medications.
Avatar n tn About 1 month ago I developed a bump with a red top under my tongue. No pain, but didn't go away. Abot 10 days ago,I noticed that I'm getting another next to this one. I have red spots all along the bottom sides of my tongue and the bottom of my lower lip, and under my tongue. I also have what looks like skin colored tiny spots under my tongue. And just this am I found what looks like reddish lumps under the tongue, at the side. I have no pain. But I'm terrifed this is cancer.
Avatar n tn My dentist did a exam and he looked at everything. He said I was good it was not cancer but why are these sores taking so long to go away. I have chewed snuff for 30 years so I am just a little worried I would like to be sure he know what to look for. they seem to got a little better then they was but I have used everything to clean my mouth with dose it take that long for them to go always.
