What Causes Ulcers On Back Of The Tongue?

I gave oral to my boyfriend yesterday. & I have like ulcers in the back of my tongue but they are not sore or hurting . I don't know if it's something I should worry about or if it's nothing. I've had sex with him and nothing is wrong with me down there I've already got checked but I was just worried about the ulcer thing?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, I am Dr. Shreyash Mehta, MD Community Medicine.

I hope my answer will solve your query.

First thing I would ask you whether the ulcer like thing were present before you gave oral sex to your boyfriend or did it appear after it?

Our tongue has some projection like structure at the back of the tongue called as circumvallete papillae and some sulcus like called as sulcus terminalis.

Please compare your tongue appearance with your other relatives or friend.

If it is an ulcer then you should consult your physician to rule out whether it is due to fungal infection by Candida fungus or it of some other etiology.

It would be better if you can provide me snap of it. I will be in better position to answer.
