Feeling Irritation At The Tip Of The Tongue Which Turned Black And Then Into White
Hi I noticed a irritated feeling on the tip of my tongue 4 days ago. At first it looked like my taste bud was slightly inflamed (it was literally a tiny red dot), two days later the tiny red dot turned into a black dot. On the third day the dot was a white color. It still has the irritated feeling (as if I had burned my tongue drinking something hot). What do you think is the cause of this?

Thanks for your query, the reddish spot would be an ulcer secondary to trauma or viral infection...or the blakish color could be due to food debris...the whit area could b an elongated papillae or secondary to chronic irritation....nothing to worry if it is troubling you consult a oral physician...
