Accepted Answer

Very little, if any,: ...of your eye drops can make their way to your mouth and tongue.  If this problem started after cataract surgery, it may be a coincidence.  Good oral hygiene (thoroughly brushing your teeth twice daily &amp; rinsing mouth out with warm water after eating may help this damage to heal.  Meanwhile, take the advice of you family doctor.  Best wishes.  Dr. Anne.

Visual DX: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!
