A 20 yr old female has a tongue problem that began a month ago: A few white, raised bumps at the back of the tongue. they are small, like smaller than a nub earring. then a few little tiny bumps further up from them (very small like just dots), then the rest of the tongue it is whitish and peeling a little. When this started a month ago it was worse and it improved but these stuff is still on the tongue. it's like it doesn't go away; like it gets better, then a few days it comes back. but as i said it's not as bad as a month ago...the doc said looks like an infectious virus, but did a blood test and the blood was normal. he could not detect any virus or infection. he said they can be undetectable sometimes.... but the tongue shows that something is going on. I really would like to know what could be the cause of this. Will have to see another doc, but looking for some insights. Thanks for your help.

This could be related to a yeast infection (when it relates to the mouth they call it thrush). I would recommend getting another opinion and preferably from someone that does not share the same office of the doctor that you currently see. A consultation with an ear, nose, and throat doctor might be helpful to trying to figure out what is going on with the tongue as well.

if it's thrush, it's no big deal you have to suck on some monistat lozenges. doctor should've seen that right away. but if you go back he gets paid again lol.
