tongue

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 f tn Ohkay but based on what I've said does it sound like HPV? Since I haven't seen anything on my genitals???
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 n tn A few years ago I happen to look in the mirror and I noticed this red spot on the tip of my tongue. It was a perfect circle. It didn't look like an ulcer or anything. It actually looked like ringworm or something....just a perfect outline of a circle. I was like "What in the world?" There was no pain associated with it. It went away several days later. Then a similar looking spot showed back up next to where the other had been. It went through the same cycle.
Avatar f tn I am 22 years old and About a week ago, I recently noticed a lump underneath my tongue where the salivary glands are located and now the lump has turned into a line and the right salivary gland seems to look purple and bumpy it just doesn't look right at all. And now when I eat, there is a small pain in my right cheek but nothing serious so I know it has to do with the salivary glands.
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 n tn I have non-refundable tickets and hotel reservation to go to Hawaii in a few days, but just noticed today this on the upper part of my left cheek (see attached photo). Does this look like a cancer ? Should I cancel my trip ? I cannot schedule an appointment with a dermatalogist before the trip, so now I have to weigh losing money and vacation versus possibility that this is a cancer (so I should not go to sunny places like Hawaii). I am a female 63yo. Any help will be greatly appreciated !
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 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.
