Suggest Remedy For White Raw Looking Skin Pieces On Tongue
Hi, I have about 4-5 kind of raw looking skin pieces that are white and look a bit like skin tags but on my tongue. Its extremely painful to talk and eat without them responding with a pain signal. I have been putting on some Tanac I recieved for canker sores last year but that s only temporary pain relief. What can I do?

Hello ,
I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.
From your symptoms it appears to be a yeast infection like candida. But confirmation can be done after the Grams staining in nearby laboratory, which shows Grams positive yeast cells.
Do not take tretment for chancer. Treatment can be decided after the report. For yeast infection fluconazole should be given. Take the complete treatment after your doctors advice.
Such a sever yeast infection points you towards immunocompromised states. I advice you to undergo HIV testing of you. Take the necessary treatment as suggested by the report.
Glad to answer your further concern. You can contact me on bit.ly/DrArun
