What Causes Roughness Under Tongue And White Dots On Lips?
Question: i recently developed what best described as rough feeling area under my tongue and over the course of several days it has spread to inside of lips and gum line. I had to get very bright light but was able to see on my lips very very small little white dots. it doesn't hurt just feels like my mouth is like sandpaper. My biggest fear is on Saturday i gave a girl i met cunnilingus and this seemed to start two days later. Nothing i see or read matches what i have. they are not sores they are not visible patches but it seems to be spreading all over in my mouth.
