Could Skin Tag In Right Front Corner Of Tongue Be Cancer?
Hi I have a skin tag in the right front corner of my tongue is it cancer? It is on the top and it can protrude out, it looks white and pink, I have been to see my gp and they have referred me to hospital with a long waiting list! So worried, it doesn't hurt it's about 3 mm long and I can move it about

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the white tissue tag could be because of the chronic trauma by teeth on the tongue. it can be peudomembranous candidiasis. nothing to worry, it cant be cancer. consult your oral physician and rule out the above said conditions and get the sharp teeth rounded off or take topical antifungal drugs after consulting the physician. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
