i often find a tiny white patch on my right side of myt tongue exactly at the point where my tongue meets premolar teeth when jaws are closed. It goes away on its own and re appears. Its completely painless. Am worried that it would be cancer. Please do let me know what should be done
Hi, Thank you for the query. According to the history it could an ulcer which is painless caused by any irritant or sharp margins or cusps of the premolar teeth. It could be leukoplakia which is usually a white patch on the tongue. It could be an oral candidiasis as well. I would advise you to see your dentist and get it examined because the exact diagnosis can be made only on the basis of clinical examination of the white patch. They can be removed by laser or cold probes and anti-viral Chat Doctor. Hope this information helps you.
