Does Sore And White Patches In Tongue Indicates Leukoplakia?
i think i have leukoplakia. I am a smoker. I have had the white patches and discomfort in my tongue since october. I was treated for thrush then, but it obviously wasn't. I haven't smoked for a week but my tongue is still sore and the patches are still there. How long will they stay there?
