White patches under tongue
I am noticing this white patch on and off under the tongue and it's been 1.5 months. When i notice, i try to scrape off with fingernails, it takes few effort but it goes away. Then again it appears the next time i check it. I do the same scraping again.
It's happening frequently, no pain nothing.
