Hello, You can consult an oral surgeon for another opinion. I usually refer my patients to an oral surgeon for a second opinion when there are soft tissue areas of concern. A more detailed description of the area may allow me to offer more suggestions, but a clinical evaluation is very beneficial and important here. Are you having any difficulties with your tongue function or is this an aesthetic concern? You should closely monitor the condition. You do not seem satisfied with your current opinions. I suggest you do continue to inquire. A biopsy is wise if there is any concern about the quality of the tissue and to confirm a noncancerous diagnosis. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you find my advice helpful.
