I have posted b/4 several years ago..had base of tongue cyst removed-benign. I have severly fissured tongue and have recurrent sore burning areas on tip of tongue..also have problems with sides of tongue getting inflammed etc so get checked every year ...i am having a recurrence of the burning tongue problem which prompted me to look under the tongue...that little area called wharton's duct has dark purpleish raised bumps...irregular shaped...not big...size of head of a straighpen..they overlap..not due for check up until December...wondering if should go early? Not sore, ..opinions please...thanks so much
