I have had a small pale white mark that noticed on the side of my tongue over three weeks ago. The dentist told me it was an ulcer but it didn't clear up. She told me to go to the GP if I was worried. It doesn't look like an ulcer to me as it's not red or sore. Today the GP looked at it and said it has rolled edges and is probably only 2mm in diameter. He gave me an urgent referral to an oral surgeon. I have had a sore tongue for the last few years and went to see a periodontist about it several times, but he said it was nothing. I also have had recurring mild earache on the same side. I don't know what to think and am trying to remain calm, but am really concerned.
