Hi all, apologies if this is posted in the wrong section, i have also posted in patients section as i wasn't sure which is correct. Looking for help and advice please.

Around 5 or so days ago i notice a white spot below my tounge and behind my teeth. It was a bit painful at first but that seems to have died down. Should i be concerned that this could be something serious or does it look something simple like a mouth ulcer. In the past i have always had ulcers on the inside of my lip and never in the area it is now so freaking out a bit. Please help ! Thank you.

This is a fungal infection caused by the overgrowth of canadida yeast. it seems as white patches which causes pain and discomfort. You mentioned that the pain has subsided; this could indicate that it is not an acute infection but rather something like an ulcer or irritation that is healing. If the spot was initially painful but has become less so, it may suggest that it may be resolving on its own. Given you history of ulcers elsweher in your mouth and assuming no severe symptoms. Accompany this new development, it might just be another minor issue like an ulcer. but if you have any doubts , consulting a healthcare specialist woluld be benefical for you for the proper diagonis and treatment.
