What Causes The Rough Area Under My Tongue?
Hello, I have a rough area under my tongue on the soft palate behind my front lower teeth to the base of my tongue. It started several days ago and it now seems to be in a spot by one of my molars (last one) I can brush it away a bit but it returns again. No pain, no fever. Just something I have never had I am 60.

Hello,
At the age of 60, rough area under tongue may be most probably following glossitis from vitamin B 12 or folate deficiency. Kindly consult your doc for primary evaluation and get prescription of necessary medications for ulcer healing. Till that time do gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil and consume high fiber diet with plenty of green leafy veg, pulses, cereals, organic fresh fruits.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
