When the lesion appeared on your lateral side of tongue was it in the back? I have these bumps that a doctor looked at today and said they are taste buds. Ugh. I don't know. I wish I could stop worrying about this, but I am just a worrier when It comes to my health.

Does HPV infect more than one area of the mouth? I read somewhere that it localizes in one area.

Still seeing a surgeon on wednesday and talked to a nurse of an ENT today that specializes in oral cancer.
