Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a grey-looking skin flap under my tongue on the right side. Quite literally, it looks like a small rock hanging off my tongue. I am 23 years old. I do use tobacco.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You should send a picture of the lesion with the query. You did not even mention that you have any pain or discomfort.
Unwanted growth and lesion in the tongue is not a good thing. Therefore, you should stop consuming tobacco immediately and see your dentist immediately. Sometimes it may be a ulceration but do not take any chance because your smile matters.
You can follow some instructions,
1. Do proper oral hygiene and brush twice a day.
2. Clean your tongue.
3. Do not take too hot and spicy foods.
4. Take a sufficient amount of water.
Thank you.
