Biopsy results
I had some growth on the tongue which I had for few months. Don't know how and when it started. I went to oral surgeon and he removed it 2 weeks ago and sent to lab. He said he don't know what that is and so he said he will cut it out and send to lab. He put injection on the tongue and removed it. Tongue was very sore for a week and after that I feel some sharp tingly sensation sometimes. Is this normal? Tingling like sharp sensation on the tongue. I got the results from the lab now. What does it say? Is there anything serious ? Do I need to do any other thing for this results? What is the recommended treatment for this? Will the tongue tingly sensation goes off? It's been 17 days after the procedure now. I asked the oral surgeon and he said tongue looks ok but I have this tingly  and sore sensation. it feels like the same like  how the tongue feels if we have hot food.  I wanted to know some inputs  here to know if this sensation is normal and what the report says.

After the removal of the growth on your tongue, it is common to experience some soreness and discomfort, which can include a tingling or sharp sensation. These sensations can be part of the normal healing process as the tissues on the tongue recover. As for the lab results indicating a benign squamous papilloma, it suggests that the growth on your tongue is non-cancerous. This is a positive finding, as benign growths are typically not a cause for concern. However, it's important to discuss the results with your oral surgeon or healthcare provider to get a comprehensive understanding of the findings and any further steps that may be required. Regarding the lingering tingly and sore sensations, it's possible that these symptoms are still present due to the recent procedure and the healing process. However, it's always best to consult with your oral surgeon or healthcare provider for an accurate assessment. They can evaluate your specific situation, examine your tongue, and provide appropriate recommendations or treatments to address any ongoing symptoms. Remember to communicate any concerns or persistent symptoms to your healthcare provider, as they can provide the most accurate advice and guidance based on your individual case.

Your dentist did the right thing. nothing to worry! OSP or oral squamous papilloma are caused by Human papilloma virus and are usually benign. In fact this group of viruses are normal inhabitants of our body. They mostly give you functional troubles. If the excision is properly done including the base of the lesion then there's nothing else to be done and chances of recurrence are less. However, OSPs do recur so watch out in future. Your lesion will take a few weeks to heal. It's just been 17 days. Don't try to scratch the area with your teeth. Tingling sensations may be felt by patients during healing phases too due to neural regeneration or invasions of surrounding tissues. So, please just relax and trust your dentist. you will be back to normal and there's nothing serious. GOOD LUCK :)
Next Steps
Give your tongue its time to heal. Healing is usually good in tongue due to its vascularity.
Health Tips
Maintain oral hygiene. Avoid spicy foods if the lesion is raw (though chances are less)
