Recurring Tongue problem

Oral and dental care
1

Hi,

I have been experiencing this problem with my tongue for the last 3 to 4 months.

I get a sharp burning sensation at the point of the indentation(pictured) on my tongue which lasts a couple of days and my tongue looks normal again after about a week.

There doesn’t seem to be a pattern to the frequency but it doesn’t seem to get any better and has happened twice this month. The indentation always seems to appear in the same place.

Any help would be much appreciated as I can’t seem to find anything similar online. I haven’t seen my GP as yet due to the current lockdown restrictions and mitigating risk.

might be an idea to sti home kit and send it off

3

Just a generic test kit or to test for something specifically?

4

generic one with a blood test if possible

5

May i ask what you think it may be? As i have been in a monogamous relationship for the last 10 years.

6

looks like a cranker sore not 100% just a precaution

Ok, thank you for your help.

Hi Will
I’m kinda experiencing the same thing. Comes and goes but when it comes back its the same section that’s red. Did you get any answers to what it was?

Thanks
Jay

Hi Jay,

No i never really got anywhere with it. I took a full sexual health screen but nothing came back positive. it seems to have calmed down recently but I’m still conscious its there.

I started using Corsodyl daily mouthwash which seems to have helped.

My Doctor has said it may be Geographic tongue but it doesn’t look like a typical form of the condition to me.

I hope you can find an answer, let me know if you hear anything back.

Cheers
Will
