What Causes Pain On Left Side Of Mouth?

default
Posted on Thu, 12 Feb 2015
Question: Hi,

Today I noticed the left side of my mouth hurting and then saw what looked like a tiny, white worm like growth on it. I just ripped it off and now the pain is less. Now there is only a small, white bump in its place I did so much research but could not find answers as to what it could possibly be. Please, I need help. I don't know if it could be warts or just from eating really hot soup last night (the tip of my tongue still hurts).

Thank you so much!!! Should I expect more to pop ip? Is it normal for them to look like little worm growth?
Sorry I have another question: would you suggest then trying the ointment then seeing a doctor if it persists? And so warts never look like this if they're on the tongue?

Brief Answer:
Try ointment first

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I suggest you to try the ointment first.
If it persists you can go to doctor.
Don't try to pull it.
Wart may appear like this but the location is unusual.
Thank you

Is it possible to get the ointment without a prescription??? I live in the U.S.A and am finding it hard to find places THAT CARRY IT WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION...IS THERE A BRAND YOU RECOMMEND that does not require proscription? or a brand in general?
