What Do White Spots In The Mouth Indicate?

So I am freaking out because I observed white spots on the left side of the floor of my mouth. Little on tongue too. It is not painful I guess because I have pain from a traumatic ulcer on the lateral border of my tongue on same side so can't tell. Lymph node tender due to the ulcer. Texture of the floor of mouth lesion is granulated to the tongue but feels okay to finger.

Hello,

White spots on the floor of mouth and tongue with granulated textured appearance can be due to causes like leukoplakia, oral lichen planus, hyperkeratosis etcetera. So my suggestion is to consult an oral physician and get evaluated and a clinical examination and investigation like microscopy of scrapings from the lesions and biopsy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. As per the results, the treatment can be done.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
