Is the white spot on my tongue concerning?
Patient's Query
I am 16 years old and a female, I have noticed that there has been a white spot/bump on my tongue for the past four or five days. At first the bump hurt and I would bite it or play with it with my teeth and it would not stop hurting. Then On sunday night I drank a hot tea and it burnt my tongue. Now it feels like my tongue feels better but that spot feels like it is still irritated or burnt. The spot has not gotten bigger it has been the same size and my lymph nodes are not swollen. I haven’t experienced any fever/ flu like symptoms or unusual discharge.
Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal
You might have a canker sore, a harmless and common mouth ulcer. Canker sores can be painful and can come after biting your tongue or eating hot foods. They generally disappear in a week or two by themselves. You can use over-the-counter numbing gels or try rinsing your mouth with salt water to ease the discomfort. Stay away from spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore. If it doesn't get any better and if you have more issues, visit a dermatologist.
