White Patches On Tongue, Fungal Infection. Taking Nystatin. Tongue Biopsy Showed Potential For Cancer. Causes For White Patches?
Hello I had a tongue biopsy on May 21, results came back no cancer but potential to turn into cancer. Did show I had some sort of fungal infection . I have been rinsing with nystatin for 2 weeks now. Well my question is when my tongue began to heal I noticed white patches and still notices them showing up. What are they from?
