How To Remove Growth On Tongue?
Hi, I have had a growth on tongue for over 5 years. It's white in colour positioned front just off centre. The best way to describe it is similar to a large skin tag. It isn't painful but obvious to my partner while kissing. Can this be cancerous? How do I get it removed?
