Question: I am so scared that i have oral hpv i have these red bumps on my tongue as seen in the photo. I also have little skin growths on the bottom of my tongue.. Also i have tiny white bumps on my upper lip when it is stretched out. Online i have tead that all of these are oral hpv. Please help me.
Hello dear,
Don't worry these are not viral warts.
Although there are red lesions in your oral cavity, they do not look like warts (hpv infection).
The warts, as the name suggests, have a rough surface, they are somewhat skin colored or pinkish.
Your lesions are much more red and are looking very smooth.
In addition to get a viral wart you should have a sexual exposure with a person suffering from warts.
These lesions appear to be dialated submucosal salivary glands.
Apply Triamcinolone gel three times a day for a week, you will get relief.
Let me know, if you have any other doubts.
Thank you

Hello dear,
According to me it does not appear like wart.
Also it is not possible that one of the lesions is wart and others are not.
Even then to confirm, a biopsy must be done, that can be done by a dentist.

Hello dear,
Thanks for follow up.
Just wait for a month. Use betadine mouth wash.
These bumps will decrease.
If they remain , biopsy must be done.
