Could Painful White Stain On Tongue Be Cased By Meth?

So, meth is a horrific and life ruining substance, yes, but of course, I tried it.i have this white stain, if you will, on my tongue and it hurts as well. I ve been reading that it could be a burn from the chemicals but wouldn t that turn your tongue red, blustering, and incredibly painful? It s painful, but not horrendously, and I m just freakjng out. This was 5 days ago that I used.

no, cauterizing an area with either heat or chemicals causes a white spot that can have decreased or increased pain. It heals up in those cases. White spots on tongue can also be just a discoloration or food stain, precancerous growth (doesn't occur that fast but can be there and not noticed for some time) and probably other possibilities.
