On the right side tip of my tongue I have what appears to be a white circle kind of like a ring shape, but its not all white its more like nothing in the middle and the ring is the white boarder line. Do you know what it is or whats going on with me
Hello and thank you for your question. There are several conditions that can cause white spots on the tongue. The most common is thrush which is a yeast type infection that occurs on the tongue. It is usually more diffuse across the tongue so that does not sound like what you have. Other conditions that are possible are oral lichen plans, a condition that usually resolves on its own and leukoplakia. Leukoplakia is not cancer, but it can be a precursor to cancer. It is important for you to see your dentist or doctor for an evaluation of this site on your tongue to make sure that it gets treated appropriately. Thank you for using Chat Doctor
