White spot on tongue.
In a panic! White patch on the side of my tongue. I bite my tongue, anxiety I think. And I’ve had this white spot. I’ve been scared to death of course because I googled it. I’m a diabetic. No other health problems. Haven’t been exposed to HIV. But I’m scared. I took a picture I can send you.

It is advisable that u get examined by oral medicine expert. Rest constant tongue biting can also lead to white patch but lateral side of tongue should be properly examined.
