Yes , but he didn't really say much . Thought acid reflux stuff. Dentist didn't know either

 

[Ilie Delia]

Yes mine told me the same, acid reflux,I also have cronic pharyngitis because of the reflux so maybe this is the cause for the foliate papillae to be inflamate,in your case I think is the same,acid reflux makes them to be iritate. But isn't this condition scary to you?I'm think of require a biopsy.I'm obsessed with them,all day watch in the mirror

Circumvallate papillae that are completely normal. There is no need for biopsy. In fact, to biopsy normal tissue like this could be regarded as overtreatment. Go Google them and you'll see lots like them.

Hello what about mine?The ent told me they are foliate papillae on the lateral side of tongue, have them like that for 2 years because of the reflux, but since January a little white patch appeared and it's not going away,it's the same size since then.Any help pls,i will attach photos

 

[MattKW]

Also circumvallate or foliate papillae of normal appearance. They are not due to reflux. I've been looking at tongues for 40 years and you look normal.

 

[Ilie Delia]

Oh,but what about that little white patch on foliate papillae?Another dentist told me to require a biopsy,could that be a cyst,or a tongue capillary lymphfangioma?Thank you for your reply doctor.

Not of concern.

Hello. I want to ask is this something that I should concern about. What is this? This is only on right side of the tongue. No pain and don't know how long has been there. I saw it two days ago.I'm 30 years old male. Have 3 autoimmune diseases. rheumatoid arthritis,ulcerative colitis and oral lichen planus. Smoker. Thanks.

 

[MattKW]

Totally normal tissue. Google: "folate papillae of the tongue".

 

[teodorovkristian]

Thank you so much.

Foliate papillae I think, but that white patch I don't know what it is,maybe a inflamate lingual tonsil,I think the doctors opinion is more important than mine
