What Causes Small, White Scar On Middle Of Tongue?

About 2 months back, a small white scar was formed in middle of my tongue. After waiting for couple of weeks, one day suddenly I used my finger nail and wiped it off. From that point onwards, its become aggresive. It grows a bit (painful, white patches) around. I went to my dentist. She advised me Zytee gel, along with some B-Complex tab. Which I applied for around 1and1/2 months. things sometimes gets mitigated, but again grows up.



Please advise what should I do now.

Hello!Thank you for posting here.

You did not mention if you have any tobacco related habits.
As you said it is persisting from 2 months, i suggest you to get a biopsy done for the area just to make sure it is a scar tissue.in extreme cases,prednisolone can be used, but it is not required now.Check your blood sugar levels.High blood sugar levels have poor healing ability in the tissues.You did not mention your general health.Take becosules and quadragel ointment on the area thrice daily.Maintain good oral hygiene routine.
Warm saline gargle thrice daily.
Regards.
