Well, the steroid ointment took away the burning and redness right away, but the tissue still looks different, and feels different with my tongue. I have also noticed some other spots in my mouth. A bump where my left tonsil used to be, and under my tongue on the right side. I see in my area there is a dentist that is a oral pathologist, and also we have a oral surgeon. I will be calling for an appointment on Tuesday. The one that has the earliest appointment is the one I will go to.
