Under tongue

[aqz]

Hi all,

Ive pulled on this skin tag under tongue and now its painful and tender. Just wondering what is this? I assumed its the plica as its a dangling skin ‍

Thanks

@MattKW @honestdoc hi i would appreciate some advice please.

Thanks

You have a very good chance of it healing because the tongue has very good blood supply for tissue repair. You may request your dentist or doctor to prescribe you some Kenalog in Dental Paste for more intense sores.

Is it a skin tag? @honestdoc

It has healed more today and not as painful but is stil there

Looks like a canker sore. It should heal fairly soon.

@honestdoc ok thanks, but its a tiny skin tag that ive always had in that area that became irritated. Hence i dont think its a canker sore?

You CANNOT substitute blurry image exam over the forum with a full clinical exam. So instead of asking us a lot of questions to escape a real dental visit, GET A REAL DENTAL VISIT!

@honestdoc ok there is no need to be rude and abrupt with your response.
