Oral hairy leukoplakia on tongue
Hello doctor
Here attaching pictures of my tounge. I am having these vertical lines or ridges on sides of my tounge for past 20 days and also became sensitive to hot and spicy food. Visited a dentist and an ent specialist for this they said it be due to deficiency of vitamins or due to friction. But today i searched on Google and it says it could be oral hairy leukoplakia and it is associated with HIV. I am very much scared i tested for hiv yesterday with a 4th generation lab test and it came back negative. Does it look like oral hairy leukoplakia. Please help
