What Causes An Opaque White Edged Flakey Area On My Tongue?

I have what looks like an oval opaque white edged flakey area on the right side tip of my tongue and and another area approximately one quarter inch further back from the first site that is round/oval shape and appears blood red possibly slight indentation to puncture level. I do not recall drinking an extremely hot beverage or biting my tongue.

Hi....

Welcome to healthcare magic.

You mention there are two lesion over your tongue.
Without clinical examination of tongue diagnosis not occurs...
Consult a oral medicine specialist for further diagnosis.
Size, shape, colour of lump ,consistency and patter of lesion give more information about it...
This lesion may be a premalignant lesion so better to diagnose it first...
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..

I hope this will help.
Get well soon..
Thank you.
