Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Papillae On Tongue
I have an Enlarged tongue papillae on the middle left side of my tongue. It is about the size of a dime and when irritated, becomes painful. It is slightly different in color than my tongue.What are my treatment options, can it be removed and is it cancerous?This has been on my tongue for over five years. Starting out as a very sensitive slit or indentation that I noticed after eating.

Hello
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as you have enlarged papillae on tongue dont worry this is normaly seen in some patients it is not cancerous but I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for oral examination and if needed you can go for investigations like cytology .
Inmeantime do warm saline rinses and take one Capsule like vitamin B complex .
Hope this will help you.
