White thing on tongue. Is this HPV?
Hi
I have some white thing on my tongue which is rising and straight. Not falling off. Been the same size for about 8 months now. It didn't go away.
Is it something need to be checked out? I used to get canker and mouth sores always. Because of herpes virus.
Is this white tongue thing also because of herpes? What's the name of this?
Whom should I see for this issue? An ENT or GP or dentist?
Do I need to get any biopsy or removal?
Is this something serious? I left it as such for 8 months. As I have chronic jaw pain for 3 years and tooth issues. Been dealing with that with treatments.
Any way this tongue thing will go away on its own. Any thoughts please..
What should I do about this.
I am currently outside India. I am planning to travel to India to get this treated. Can I wait to get this treated or this has to be removed asap? What's the name of this white thing?
