Hi, I'm relatively new to this forum and just saw this post. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence, but I when I used the Biotene gel while I was starting my radiation treatments for OC, I developed painful white bumps on the front of my tongue where I had put most of the gel. This happened twice, after using the gel for 2-3 nights. After I stopped using the gel, the bumps went away after a few days. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have used the Biotene toothpaste and mouthwash with no problems, except the mouthwash hurt while my tongue was sore during radiation (I'm 4 weeks post-rad now).
