White Spot Underside of Tongue

[MR505]

Hello,

I saw my dentist and primary care physician about 5 months ago with this issue. Both dismissed it as nothing serious. I have since moved and still have the white spot on the underside of my tongue.

Size and color haven't changed. It doesn't hurt, but every now and then, there's some discomfort as if I bit or scraped it.

I added a couple photos- sorry for the quality.

Should I seek a second opinion? Is this something that can wait until the COVID situation improves? Still a bit worried since it hasn't gone away. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Good day,

The ventral surface of the tongue and floor of the mouth are high risk areas for a range of potentially dangerous disorders. My opinion is to rather have the area examined by an oral surgeon. He will then decide if a biopsy is necessary i.e. where they cut a small piece of the affected area and send the piece for lab tests.
This will rule out anything ominous and give you piece of mind.
If it is not painful and not enlarging, it can wait, but to be on the safe side, don't postpone it for too long.

Hope this helps
