Painless white or red patches on the tongue that persist for an extended period of time could potentially be a sign of an underlying issue, such as leukoplakia or erythroplakia. While these conditions are not always cancerous, they can sometimes be precancerous or indicate other health concerns. It's important to have any persistent changes in the oral mucosa, including white or red patches, evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional or dentist. They can perform a thorough examination, possibly take a biopsy if necessary, and provide you with an accurate diagnosis. Remember, only a healthcare professional can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment based on your individual situation. If you're concerned about any changes in your mouth, it's best to consult a medical or dental professional for guidance.

Hi, You need to meet a dentist for a clinical evaluation. Having white and red patches on your tongue for 3 years is not good, But not necessary it means cancer.

Could be geographical tongue. Less likely cancerous if it’s been for years. It’s always better to get a physical evaluation done by visiting a dentist.
